Duplicate mitf genes in zebrafish: complementary expression and conservation of melanogenic potential.

Developmental biology - 15 Sept 2001

Lister J A, Close J, Raible D W

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the zebrafish nacre/mitfa gene, expressed in all embryonic melanogenic cells, perturb only neural crest melanocytes, suggesting redundancy of mitfa with another gene in the zebrafish retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Here, we describe a second zebrafish mitf gene, mitfb, which may fulfill this role. The proteins encoded by the two zebrafish mitf genes appear homologous to distinct isoforms generated...
