Mitf Involved in Innate Immunity by Activating Tyrosinase-Mediated Melanin Synthesis in Pteria penguin
The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) Oven is an important transcription factor that plays a key role in melanogenesis, cell proliferation, survival and immune defense in vertebrate.However, its function and function mechanism in bivalve are still rarely known.In this research, first, a Mitf gene was characterized from Pteria pe
