The MafA transcription factor appears to be responsible for tissue-specific expression of insulin

Insulin gene expression is regulated by several islet-enriched transcription factors. However, MafA is the only β cell-specific activator. Here, we show that MafA selectively induces endogenous insulin transcription in non-β cells. MafA was also first detected in the insulin-producing cells formed d...
