myogenic factor MYF-4; myogenin; myogenic factor 4; Myf-4 (MYOG, MYF4)
Function:
- role in muscle differentiation (myogenic factor)
- induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts
- probable sequence specific DNA-binding protein
- efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein
