Myogenin Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Myogenin is a muscle-specific transcription factor that can induce myogenesis in a variety of cell types in tissue culture. It is a member of a large family of proteins related by sequence homology, the helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins. It is essential for the development of functional skeletal muscle. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], function:Involved in muscle differentiation (myogenic factor) . Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Probable sequence specific DNA-binding protein., similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain., subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.
