Beyond MITF: Multiple transcription factors directly regulate the cellular phenotype in melanocytes and melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

MITF governs multiple steps in the development of melanocytes, including specification from neural crest, growth, survival, and terminal differentiation. In addition, the level of MITF activity determines the phenotype adopted by melanoma cells, whether invasive, proliferative, or differentiated. However, MITF does not act alone. Here, we review literature on the transcription factors that co-regulate...
