As a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor, MAZ binds to GC‐rich cis‐elements through its C2H2‐type ZNF motif (Parks & Shenk, 1996) and activates transcription of KRAS and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, and glioblastoma cells (Smits et al, 2012; Cogoi et al, 2013). The gene discussed is KRAS; the disease is glioblastoma.
