General description
Microphthalmia (Mi in mouse or MITF in human) is a basic helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (BHLH–ZIP) transcription factor involved in the differentiation, development and survival of melanocytes and cells of the retinal pigment epithelium, i.e. cells responsible for hair, skin, and eye color. It activates the expression of the melanocyte specific genes tyrosinase and TRP1 (tyrosinase-related protein 1) by binding as a homo- or heterodimer to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E box) (5′-CATGTG-3′) located within the M box found in their promoters. Microphthalmia also appears to be involved in the differentiation of mast cells, osteoclasts, basophils and natural killer cells.
Microphthalmia is expressed in a limited number of cell types including heart, mast cells, osteoclast precursors, and melanocytes. There are a number of different isoforms of microphthalmia resulting from alternative splicing and alternative promotors. These isoforms differ at their amino-termini and in their expression patterns.

Mouse monoclonal clone C5 anti-Microphthalmia antibody recognizes serine phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated melanocytic isoforms of microphthalmia from human, mouse or rat.
Immunogen
N-terminal fragment of human microphthalmia protein.

Western Blotting (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)
Mouse monoclonal clone C5 anti-Microphthalmia antibody is used to tag serine phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated melanocytic isoforms of microphthalmia for detection and quantitation by techniques such as immunoblotting (doublet of 52-56 kDa), immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded or frozen tissue sections, and gel shift. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of microphthalmia in the differentiation, development and survival of melanocytes and cells of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Physical form

The profound but frequently transient clinical responses to BRAFV600 inhibitor (BRAFi) treatment in melanoma emphasize the need for combinatorial therapies. Multiple clinical trials combining BRAFi and immunotherapy are under way to further enhance therapeutic responses. However, to which extent BRAFV600

Oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation of the RPE have been implicated in AMD; however, the molecular regulation of RPE metabolism remains unclear. The transcriptional coactivator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) is a powerful mediator of mitochondrial function. This study

TYR, DCT and MITF are three important genes involved in maintaining the mature phenotype and producing melanin; they therefore participate in neural crest cell development into melanocytes. Previous studies have revealed that the Wnt signaling factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor (LEF-1)

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a promising melanocyte source as they propagate indefinitely and can be established from patients. However, the in vivo functions of human iPSC-derived melanocytes (hiMels) remain unknown. Here, we generated hiMels from vitiligo patients using a three-dimensional

Melanocytes, derived from neural crest cells, are involved in melanin production. This protocol describes a method to generate induced melanocytes (iMelanocytes) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using a suspension culture system, which considerably improves the differentiation efficiency.
