Abstract excerpt
The mi locus encodes a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper protein family of transcription factors (hereafter called MITF). We have reported that expression of several genes was impaired in cultured mast cells (CMCs) of mi/mi mice due to a defective transactivation ability of mutant MITF (mi-MITF). Because attachment of mi/mi CMCs to fibroblasts is impaired, we examined the expression of integrin...
