Disease relevance of MYF5

  • To study the role of myf5 in vivo, we generated transgenic mice harboring the bovine homolog, bmyf, under control of the murine sarcoma virus promoter [1].
 

High impact information on MYF5

  • Expression of bovine myf5 induces ectopic skeletal muscle formation in transgenic mice [1].
  • Myf-5 is expressed in proliferating myoblasts [2].
  • Other SNP of igf1 and myf5 or other genes in their respective chromosomal regions, however, should also be studied [3].
  • During frostbite-induced muscle regeneration, gene expression for myostatin and 4 MRF; i.e., Myf5, MyoD, myogenin and MRF4, showed contrasting responses [4].
  • The results suggest that MyoD and Myf5 influence the MyHC isoform expression, although the effects are not decisive in specifying the phenotypes of adult muscles [5].
 

Biological context of MYF5

 

Anatomical context of MYF5

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MYF5

  • To investigate the relationships between MyHC isoforms and myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) including MyoD, Myf5, myogenin, and MRF4 in adult skeletal muscles, expressions of these MRFs in the ten muscles of three cows were analyzed by a semi-quantitative RT-PCR [5].
