Function

Transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of melanocyte survival and differentiation as well as melanosome biogenesis (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Binds to M-boxes (5'-TCATGTG-3') and symmetrical DNA sequences (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the promoter of pigmentation genes, such as tyrosinase (TYR) (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Involved in the cellular response to amino acid availability by acting downstream of MTOR: in the presence of nutrients, MITF phosphorylation by MTOR promotes its inactivation (PubMed:36608670). Upon starvation or lysosomal stress, inhibition of MTOR induces MITF dephosphorylation, resulting in transcription factor activity (PubMed:36608670). Plays an important role in melanocyte development by regulating the expression of tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Plays a critical role in the differentiation of various cell types, such as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelium (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758).

    Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-MiTF antibody (ab122982)

    Immunohistochemical analysis of RPE (Retinal Pigment Epithelium) in chicken embryo (stage 14) labelling MiTF with ab122982 at dilution of 1/300. Embryo was fixed with paraformaldehyde and embedded in OCT compound and sectioned with a cryostat at 8
    μm. Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used at the secondary antibody.

    At stage 14, Mitif protein is detected throughout the RPE (Retinal Pigment Epithelium).
