CITED1 is the founding member of the CITED (CBP/p300-interacting transactivator with glutamic acid [E]/aspartic acid [D]-rich C-terminal domain) family of transcriptional co-regulators and was originally cloned from a differential display screen between pigmented mouse B16 melanoma cells and their dedifferentiated weakly-pigmented derivative, B16F10s. Here, CITED1 is linked to melanoma.
