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:
“But this we know, the obstacle that checked
And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
