Background:

MyoD-E or musculin-E heterodimers bind avidly to consensus E box motifs, which are functionally important elements in the promoter regions of many musclespecific terminal differentiation genes. MyoD complexes potently induce transcriptional activation, while musculin complexes bind adjacent to MyoD DNA-binding regions to represses MyoD activity, which then results in the delayed expression of muscle-specific genes. Musculin is highly expressed in undifferentiated and proliferating myoblasts in culture, and its expression is down regulated during myogenesis and at the onset of terminal differentiation.

Specificity:

Musculin (R167) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Musculin protein.
