Summary
MYF5 (myogenic factor 5, HGNC:7565) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q21.31, encoding Myogenic factor 5 (P13349). Transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation.
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to E-box binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including muscle cell fate commitment; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; skeletal system morphogenesis; and somitogenesis. Located in nucleoplasm.

Function. Transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation. Together with MYOG and MYOD1, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core region during myogenesis. Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Probable sequence specific DNA-binding protein.
Subunit / interactions. Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Ophthalmoplegia, external, with rib and vertebral anomalies (EORVA) [MIM:618155] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital nonprogressive external ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, scoliosis, torticollis, and vertebral and rib anomalies. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
