This antibody detects recombinant human MYF-5 in direct ELISAs and Western blots.
Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS.
Myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) is a gene located on chromosome 12q21.31, encoding a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor essential for skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MYF5 is one of the key members of the myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) family, which also includes MyoD, myogenin, and MRF4. It plays a crucial role in myogenesis by regulating the expression of genes necessary for muscle precursor cell proliferation and differentiation into mature muscle fibers. During embryonic development, MYF5 is involved in the formation of muscle tissue and maintenance of muscle progenitor cells. Mutations or dysregulation in MYF5 can lead to developmental abnormalities in muscle formation and are implicated in muscle-related disorders. Research into MYF5 continues to explore its regulatory mechanisms in muscle biology and potential therapeutic applications in muscular dystrophies and muscle repair processes.
