These Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring specific protein levels in biological samples. Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor is an alias of the human MITF gene, which encodes the protein, melanocyte inducing transcription factor. Notably, Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor is known to play a role in eye development and melanocyte differentiation, among other functions. The MITF protein is 526 amino acid residues in length and 58.8 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 12 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in melanocytes. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CMM8, COMMAD, and MI. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
