Target Genes
MITF recognizes E-box (CAYRTG) and M-box (TCAYRTG or CAYRTGA) sequences in the promoter regions of target genes. Known target genes (confirmed by at least two independent sources) of this transcription factor include,
|
ACP5 |
BCL2 |
BEST1 |
BIRC7 |
|
CDK2 |
CLCN7 |
DCT |
EDNRB |
|
GPNMB |
GPR143 |
MC1R |
MLANA |
|
OSTM1 |
RAB27A |
SILV |
SLC45A2 |
|
TBX2 |
TRPM1 |
TYR |
TYRP1 |
Additional genes identified by a microarray study (which confirmed the above targets) include the following,
| MBP | TNFRSF14 | IRF4 | RBM35A |
| PLA1A | APOLD1 | KCNN2 | INPP4B |
| CAPN3 | LGALS3 | GREB1 | FRMD4B |
| SLC1A4 | TBC1D16 | GMPR | ASAH1 |
| MICAL1 | TMC6 | ITPKB | SLC7A8 |

Famous quotes containing the words target and/or genes:
“All of women’s aspirations—whether for education, work, or any form of self-determination—ultimately rest on their ability to decide whether and when to bear children. For this reason, reproductive freedom has always been the most popular item in each of the successive feminist agendas—and the most heavily assaulted target of each backlash.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
“Whether you want it or not,
your genes have a political past,
your skin a political tone.
your eyes a political color.
...
you walk with political steps
on political ground.”
—Wislawa Szymborska (b. 1923)
