Melanocytes and the microphthalmia transcription factor network.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 2004

Steingrímsson Eiríkur, Copeland Neal G, Jenkins Nancy A

Abstract excerpt

The first mouse microphthalmia transcription factor (Mitf ) mutation was discovered over 60 years ago, and since then over 24 spontaneous and induced mutations have been identified at the locus. Mitf encodes a member of the Myc supergene family of basic helix-loop-helix zipper (bHLH-Zip) transcri...
