Mitf - melanocyte inducing transcription factor Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Tietz syndrome; Tietze's syndrome; Waardenburg syndrome type 2A; Waardenburg's syndrome; and familial melanoma. Orthologous to human MITF (melanocyte inducing transcription factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
