Myogenic regulatory factors

Myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) are a group of proteins that play a crucial role in the development and specialization of muscle cells. They act as transcription factors, meaning they help turn on specific genes needed for muscle formation and growth. During muscle development, MRFs guide precursor cells to become mature muscle fibers, coordinating the process of muscle cell differentiation and repair. They are essential for normal muscle function and regeneration, ensuring muscles develop properly and can recover from injury or stress.
