products description :
Myogenin is a transcription factor active in muscles. In particular, it is a myogenic regulatory factor. Myogenin is a member of a family of myogenic regulatory genes, which includes MyoD, myf5 and MRF4. These genes encode a set of transcription factors which are essential for muscle development. Expression of myogenin is restricted to cells of skeletal-muscle origin. It is, therefore, a useful marker for tumors of the muscle lineage, being strongly expressed in Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcomas. Anti-myogenin labels the nuclei of myoblasts in developing muscle tissue, and is expressed in tumor cell nuclei of Rhabdomyosarcoma and some Leiomyosarcomas. Positive nuclear staining may occur in Wilm's Tumor.

ncbi 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. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
Function: Involved in muscle differentiation (myogenic factor). Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Probable sequence specific DNA-binding protein. Subunit structure: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Subcellular location: Nucleus. Sequence similarities: Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.
