General description

Myogenic differentiation antigen 1 (MYOD1) is a nuclear protein which is expressed in skeletal muscles. It is part of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 11.

Immunogen

recombinant mouse MyoD1 protein.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-MYOD1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

immunofluorescence staining at a 1:50 dilution
western blotting
immunostaining at a 1:300 dilution

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myogenic differentiation antigen 1 (MYOD1) maybe involved in recruitment of enzymes like acetyltransferases and methyltransferases to myogenic enhancers in the human genome. It takes part in the regeneration of muscles and mediates muscle cell differentiation by activating cell cycle arrest.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.08% sodium azide.
