Opis

Opis ogólny

MiTF (Microphthalmia associated transcription factor) is a basic helix loop helix leucine zipper (b HLH ZIP) transcription factor implicated in pigmentation, mast cells and bone development. Mutations in MiTF cause auditory pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type II, type IIa and Tietz syndrome in humans. There are two known isoforms of MiTF differing by 66 amino acids at the NH2 terminus. Shorter forms are expressed in melanocytes and run as two bands at 52 kDa and 56 kDa, while the longer Mi form runs as a cluster of bands at 60-70 kDa in osteoclasts and in B16 melonoma cells (but not other melanoma cell lines), as well as mast cells and heart. MiTF plays a critical role in the differentiation of various cell types as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelium. Mi is a basic helix-loop-helix-leucin zipper (b-HLH-ZIP) transtripotion factor implicated in pigmentation, mast cells and bone development. The mutation of Mi causes Waardenburg Syndrome type II in humans. In mice, a profound loss of pigmented cells in the skin eye and inner ear results, as well as osteopetrosis and defects in natural killer and mast cells. These melanocyte isoforms have been shown by two dimensional tryptic mapping to differ in c-Kit-induced phosphorylation. Osteopetrotic rat strain harbors a large genomic deletion encompassing the 3′ half of Mi including most of the b-HLH-ZIP region. Osteoclasts from these animals lack Mi protein in contrast to wild-type rat, mouse, and human osteoclasts.

Specyficzność

In Western blotting, it recognizes a doublet of 52-56kDa, identified as serine-phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of melanocytic isoforms of microphthalmia (Mi). There are two known isoforms of Mi differing by 66 amino acids at the NH2 terminus. Shorter forms are expressed in melanocytes and run as two bands at 52kDa and 56kDa, while the longer Mi form runs as a cluster of bands at 60-70kDa in osteoclasts and in B16 melonoma cells (but not other melanoma cell lines), as well as mast cells andheart. It reacts with both melanocytic as well as the nonmelanocytic isoforms of Mi. This Ab does not cross-react with other b-HLH-ZIP factors by DNA mobility shift assay.

Immunogen

Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from RBF/DnJ mice immunized with an N-terminal fragment of human microphthalmia protein and mouse myeloma NS1 cells.
