Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4618
Gene name Myogenic factor 6
Gene symbol MYF6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CNM3MRF4bHLHc4myf-6
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q21.31
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a probable basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA binding protein involved in muscle differentiation. The encoded protein likely acts as a heterodimer with another bHLH protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal
