Repressor of RNA polymerase III transcription MAF1 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAF1 gene.{{cite journal |vauthors=Wiemann S, Weil B, Wellenreuther R, Gassenhuber J, Glassl S, Ansorge W, Bocher M, Blocker H, Bauersachs S, Blum H, Lauber J, Dusterhoft A, Beyer A, Kohrer K, Strack N, Mewes HW, Ottenwalder B, Obermaier B, Tampe J, Heubner D, Wambutt R, Korn B, Klein M, Poustka A | title = Toward a Catalog of Human Genes and Proteins: Sequencing and Analysis of 500 Novel Complete Protein Coding Human cDNAs | journal = Genome Res | volume = 11 | issue = 3 | pages = 422–35 |date=Mar 2001 | pmid = 11230166 | pmc = 311072 | doi = 10.1101/gr.GR1547R }}{{cite journal |vauthors=Pluta K, Lefebvre O, Martin NC, Smagowicz WJ, Stanford DR, Ellis SR, Hopper AK, Sentenac A, Boguta M | title = Maf1p, a Negative Effector of RNA Polymerase III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae | journal = Mol Cell Biol | volume = 21 | issue = 15 | pages = 5031–40 |date=Jul 2001 | pmid = 11438659 | pmc = 87229 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.21.15.5031-5040.2001 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MAF1 MAF1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=84232| accessdate = }}

This gene encodes a protein that is homologous to Maf1, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein which is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. S. cerevisiae 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.
