Summary: 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.

CASZ1 plays a critical role in inducing skeletal myogenesis and co-operating to form a feed-forward loop with MYOD and MYOG that is critical for Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma differentiation.
Title: CASZ1 induces skeletal muscle and rhabdomyosarcoma differentiation through a feed-forward loop with MYOD and MYOG.
PRMT1 promotes MyoD-mediated myogenin expression, for which the enzymatic activity of PRMT1 is needed. The arginine methylation of MyoD by PRMT1 enhances its DNA binding activity and transactivation.
Title: PRMT1 activates myogenin transcription via MyoD arginine methylation at R121.
Among these targets, dehydrogenase/reductase member 2 DHRS2 and MYO1B were directly regulated by miR1453p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells by dual luciferase reporter assays. Aberrantly expressed DHRS2 and MYOIB were detected in ESCC clinical specimens, and their overexpression enhanced cancer cell aggressiveness.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
