MITF 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.蛋白别名为：MITF; BHLHE32; Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor; Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 32; bHLHe32;基因ID为：4286；蛋白质ID:O75030
