The DEAF1 transcription factor (HGNC:14677) (or "deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor 1) is a protein coded by the gene DEAF1 in humans. It is a member of the Zinc finger protein and MYND-type protein. It and its orthologs are found in vertebrate and some invertebrate genuses, notably Drosophila.

Pathology

Mutations affecting the SAND Domain of DEAF1 cause intellectual disability with severe speech impairment and behavioral troubles.

DEAF1 was implicated in muscle dysregulation during aging by switching on excess activity in the mTORC1 transcription factor and disrupting protein exchange. In mice models, physical activity was reported to lower DEAF1 levels, allowing protein exchange to normalize.
