Background

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor that is most widely known for its roles in melanocyte, ophthalmic, and osteoclast development (1-3). In humans, MITF can function as a melanoma oncogene (4) and mutations in the corresponding MITF gene are associated with Waardenburg syndrome type 2, an auditory-pigmentary syndrome characterized by developmental defects in cells derived from neural crest (5). At least 12 isoforms of MITF have been identified, which exhibit differential patterns of expression among cell and tissue types (6).

MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb

Western Blotting Image 1: MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb (upper) and β-Actin (D6A8) Rabbit mAb #8457 (lower).
Immunofluorescence Image 1: MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of SK-MEL-28 cells (left, positive) and HCT 116 cells (right, negative) using MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb (green), DyLight 650 Phalloidin #12956 (red), and DAPI #4083 (blue).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Image 1: MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from SK-MEL-28 cells and MITF (D3B4T) Rabbit mAb, using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. DNA Libraries were prepared using DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN) #56795. The figure shows binding across BEST1/VMD2, a known target gene of MITF (see additional figure containing ChIP-qPCR data). For additional ChIP-seq tracks, please download the product data sheet.
