Transcription regulator protein BACH2 (Bach2)

Transcriptional regulator that acts as repressor or activator (PubMed:8887638). Binds to Maf recognition elements (MARE) (PubMed:8887638).

Plays an essential role in coordinating transcription activation and repression by MAFK (PubMed:8887638). Induces apoptosis in response to oxidative stress through repression of the antiapoptotic factor HMOX1 (By similarity).
