MyoD Proteins and Enzymes

MyoD (myoblast determination protein 1), also called Myf-3 (myogenic factor 3) is a member the MyoD family of muscle-specific bHLH transcription factors. MyoD family members heterodimerize with E proteins and cooperate with MEF2 family transcription factors to regulate expression of skeletal muscle-specific genes. MyoD is essential for skeletal mus...
