Role of Mitf in Differentiation and Transdifferentiation of Chicken Pigmented Epithelial Cell

1 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

Mitf encodes a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine-zipper (bHLHzip) protein that is known to function in the development of melanocytes, pigmented epithelial cells (PECs), osteoclasts, and mast cells. In this paper, we report on the isolation, expression, and overexpression of the chicken Mitf and discuss the role of its protein product in the differentiation and transdifferentiation of PECs. Northern blotting showed...
