The following melanocyte inducing transcription factor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of melanocyte inducing transcription factor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MITF gene. This protein is reported to be a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes with essential roles in cell differentiation, proliferation and survival. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 526 residues, a mass of 58.8 kDa, and is a member of the MiT/TFE protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the nucleus and cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in melanocytes. As many as 12 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Waardenburg syndrome. This protein may also be known as COMMAD, MI, MITF-A, WS2, WS2A, bHLHe32, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, and CMM8.
Some melanocyte inducing transcription factor ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 40 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
