Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in skeletal muscle tissue regeneration. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitotic spindle; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital structural myopathy. Orthologous to human MYF6 (myogenic factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

MRF4 acts by stabilizing a repressor complex that controls MEF2 activity.
Title: MRF4 negatively regulates adult skeletal muscle growth by repressing MEF2 activity.
Decreased myostatin expression combined with significant muscle atrophy is observed in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with heart failure; MRF4 levels positively correlate with type I MyHC isoform.

MRF4 is co-expressed with MyoD and myogenin in nuclei of regenerating myotubes and young myofibers, but it is not expressed in satellite cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
