About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for MITF:
This gene encodes a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural
features. It regulates the differentiation and development of melanocytes retinal pigment epithelium and is also
responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the
this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. Alternatively
spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MITF_HUMAN, O75030
Function: Transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes with essential roles in cell differentiation,
proliferation and survival. Binds to symmetrical DNA sequences (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the promoters of
target genes, such as BCL2 and tyrosinase (TYR). Plays an important role in melanocyte development by regulating the
expression of tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1). Plays a critical role in the differentiation
of various cell types, such as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal
pigment epithelium

  • Phosphorylation at Ser-405 significantly enhances the ability to bind the tyrosinase promoter. Phosphorylated at
  • Ser-180 and Ser-516 following KIT signaling, trigerring a short live activation: Phosphorylation at Ser-180 and
    Ser-516 by MAPK and RPS6KA1, respectively, activate the transcription factor activity but also promote ubiquitination
    and subsequent degradation by the proteasome1
  • Ubiquitinated following phosphorylation at Ser-180, leading to subsequent degradation by the proteasome.

    Tissue specificity: Isoform M is exclusively expressed in melanocytes and melanoma cells. Isoform A and isoform H are
    widely expressed in many cell types including melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Isoform C is expressed
    in many cell types including RPE but not in melanocyte-lineage cells. Isoform Mdel is widely expressed in melanocytes,
    melanoma cell lines and tissues, but almost undetectable in non-melanoma cell lines

  • Defects in MITF are the cause of Waardenburg syndrome type 2A (WS2A) [MIM:193510]. It is a dominant inherited
  • disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and patches of depigmentation. The features show variable
    expression and penetrance
  • Defects in MITF are a cause of Waardenburg syndrome type 2 with ocular albinism (WS2-OA) [MIM:103470]. It is
  • an ocular albinism with sensorineural deafness
  • Defects in MITF are the cause of Tietz syndrome (TIETZS) [MIM:103500]. It is an autosomal dominant disorder
  • characterized by generalized hypopigmentation and profound, congenital, bilateral deafness. Penetrance is complete
  • Defects in MITF are a cause of susceptibility to cutaneous malignant melanoma type 8 (CMM8) [MIM:614456]. A
  • malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign nevus, which occurs most often in the
