Cloning of a microphthalmia-associated transcription factor gene and its functional analysis in nacre formation and melanin synthesis in Hyriopsis cumingii
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is an essential transactivator in melanin synthesis. To characterize the role of MITF in the pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, the MITF homolog of H. cumingii was isolated. The full-length HcMitf cDNA consisted of a 1332-bp with an open reading fr...
