Gene Information

human ... MITF(4286)

General description

MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) is a basic helix-loop-helix, leucine-zipper transcription factor. It is located on human chromosome 3p13.
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a bHLH-ZIP transcription factor that recognizes E-box (CAYRTG) and M-box (TCAYRTG or CAYRTGA) sequences in the promoter regions of target genes. Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a master regulator in melanocyte proliferation, development, survival and melanoma formation and an essential regulator of osteoclastogenesis.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-MITF antibody recognizes human microphthalmia-associated transcription factor.

Immunogen

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-MITF antibody has been used in immunohistochemistry and chromatin immunoprecipitation.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-MITF antibody is used to tag microphthalmia-associated transcription factor for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor in melanocyte proliferation, development, and survival and the regulation of regulator of osteoclastogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) participates in the growth and differentiation of melanocytes. Mutations in MITF results in waardenburg syndrome type IIa.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
