Entrez gene ID17342
Official gene symbolMitf
Full namemicrophthalmia-associated transcription factor
AliasesBhlhe32,MGC124309,MGC124310,Vitiligo,Wh,bw,mi,vit
Gene summaryThis transcription factor serves at a critical point between extracellular signaling and downstream targets in cell specification in early eye and neural crest development. Mutant alleles have been identified that generate distinct phenotypes. Some of these alleles are being used to model the human diseases Waardenburg syndrome IIa and Tietz syndrome.
