Myogenin is a critical myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) involved in the regulation of muscle differentiation. It is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in the development and repair of skeletal muscle tissue. Myogenin belongs to a family of MRFs that also includes MyoD, Myf5, and MRF4. These factors are essential for the proper formation of muscle fibers during embryogenesis and are involved in muscle regeneration in adults.
