Myf5 - myogenic factor 5 Gene

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; regulation of cell-matrix adhesion; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human MYF5 (myogenic factor 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
