Repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription MAF1 homolog is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAF1 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to Maf1, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. Yeast Maf1 is a negative effector of RNA polymerase III (Pol III). It responds to changes in the cellular environment and represses pol III transcription. Biochemical studies identified the initiation factor TFIIIB as a target for Maf1-dependent repression.[3]
