Microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) positively regulates transcription of differentiation‐
related genes in several cell lineages, including melanocytes. Recent data also indicate a …

Microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor (MITF) plays a pivotal role in melanocyte
survival and differentiation. Nevertheless, until now it has not been possible to show that …

We transfected the melanocyte-specific Mitf-M isoform into the aggressive melanoma UISO-
Mel-6 cell lines. Our data show that Mitf decreases cell proliferation and results in cells …

Microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor (MITF) activates the expression of
melanocyte‐specific markers and promotes the survival of embryonic, adult and malignant …

The gene residing at the microphthalmia locus that causes white and small eye phenotype
in mice when mutated was cloned and named microphthalmia-associated transcription …

Microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor (MITF) is a member of the basic helix–loop–
helix leucine zipper (bHLH‐Zip) family and functions as the master regulator of the …

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) acts as a master regulator of
melanocyte development, function and survival by modulating various differentiation and …

Melanocyte and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) specifically express tyrosinase and other
melanin‐producing enzymes. Microphthalmia‐associated transcription factor (Mitf), encoded …

Since its discovery over a decade ago, the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor
(MITF), has moved ever more to the center of pigment cell biology. Not only has MITF been …

All transcription factors are equal, but some are more equal than others. In the 25 yr since
the gene encoding the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) was first …
