MYF6 Products

MYF6 (Myogenic factor 6 or herculin) is a 242 amino acid basic helix-loop-helix DNA binding protein that is involved in muscle differentiation. It induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Defects in MYF6 may be a cause of centronuclear myopathy type 3. It may also play a role in muscular dystrophy, rhabdomyosarcoma, myopathy, centronuclear myopathy, alveolar soft part sarcoma and myasthenia gravis.
