MyoD encodes a nuclear protein that belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors and themyogenic factors subfamily. It regulates muscle cell differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest, a prerequisite formyogenic initiation. The protein is also involved in muscle regeneration. It activates its own transcription which may stabilize commitment to myogenesis.1) Emmanuel G, et al. J. Biol. Chem., Jun 2000; 275: 18767 - 18776Tintignac LA, et al.
