MITF - melanocyte inducing transcription factor Gene
Also Known as MI; WS2; CMM8; WS2A; COMMAD; MITF-A; bHLHe32
Species: Homo sapiens
About MITF
This gene has 20 transcripts (splice variants), 277 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 107 phenotypes. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 9.9), heart (RPKM 3.9) and 19 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
