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).

Terms & Conditions.
ab3201 staining MiTF in Malme-3M cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab3201 at 1µg/ml and Anti-beta Tubulin antibody - Loading Control ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150117, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.
Overlay histogram showing Malme-3 (Human skin fibroblast cell line) cells stained with ab3201 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab3201, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells ) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
ab3201 staining MiTF in the SK-MEL-28 (Human cutaneous melanoma cell line) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with Triton X-100 0.5% in PBS. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100) for 24 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal(1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. SK-MEL-28 cells was grown on chamber slide. MiTF was found to strictly localised in the nucleus. Cells were counter-stained with DAPI.
