PPP6C, a serine-threonine phosphatase, regulates melanocyte differentiation and contributes to melanoma tumorigenesis through modulation of MITF activity

Abstract It is critical to understand the molecular mechanisms governing the regulation of MITF, a lineage specific transcription factor in melanocytes and an oncogene in melanoma. We identified PPP6C, a serine/threonine phosphatase, as a key regulator of MITF in melanoma. PPP6C is the only recurren...
