Description
Description
MITF (microphthalmia transcription factor) is a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine-zipper (bHLH-Zip) transcription factor that regulates the development and survival of melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium, and also is involved in transcription of pigmentation enzyme genes such as tyrosinase TRP1 and TRP2. MITF has been shown to be phosphorylated by MAP kinase in response to c-kit activation, resulting in upregulation of MITF transcriptional activity. Mutations of the MITF gene are associated with the autosomal dominant hereditary deafness and pigmentation condition, Waardenburg Syndrome type 2A. Multiple isoforms of MITF exist, including MITF-A, -B, -C, -H, and -M, which differ in the amino-terminal domain and in their expression patterns. The M isoform is restricted to the melanocyte cell lineage.
Storage
Store the anti-MITF antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
Expiration:
12 months from the date of shipment when stored properly.
