Preferred term

myogenic regulatory factors

Type

  • Chemical

Definition

  • Information A family of muscle-specific transcription factors which bind to DNA in control regions and thus regulate myogenesis. All members of this family contain a conserved helix-loop-helix motif which is homologous to the myc family proteins. These factors are only found in skeletal muscle.
