Myf6, myogenic factor 6 (also known in the medical literature as MRF4 and herculin), is a myogenic regulatory factor (MRF).[1][2]

Contents

Function

MYF6 is a member of the myogenic factors (MYF) family that regulate myogenesis and muscle regeneration. Myogenic factor are basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors

Clinical significance

Mutations in the MYF6 gene are associated with myopathy.[3]
