Human Myogenic Factor 5, MYF5 ELI

Transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation (PubMed: 29887215).

Together with MYOG and MYOD1, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core region during myogenesis.

Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts.

Probable sequence specific DNA-binding protein.
