Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor

A basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor that regulates the CELL DIFFERENTIATION and development of a variety of cell types including MELANOCYTES; OSTEOCLASTS; and RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM. Mutations in MITF protein have been associated with OSTEOPETROSIS and WAARDENBURG SYNDROME.

Also Known As:

MITF Protein; MITF Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor Microphthalmia; Microphthalmia Associated Transcription Factor; Microphthalmia, Transcription Factor; Transcription Factor, Microphthalmia-Associated
