Myogenin is a muscle-specific basic-helix-loop-helix ( bHLH ) transcription factor involved in the coordination of skeletal muscle development or myogenesis and repair.

The results of these studies suggest that there is a possibility that, during neocardiogenesis, angiogenesis and myogenesis are interlinked and operate simultaneously in the process of cardiac regeneration.
43.
POMT1 also shows similarity to the Drosophila'rotated abdomen'( rt ) gene, which when mutated causes defects in myogenesis and muscle structure . [ supplied by OMIM]
44.
This protein is likely the adaptor component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex in striated muscle, and it regulates the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of beta-catenin during myogenesis.
45.
The Pitx2 gene is thus shown to be downstream of Pax3 and serve as an intermediate between Pax3 and MyoD . In conclusion, Pitx2 plays an integral role in limb myogenesis.

By understanding not only what genes are present in all bilaterians but also the time and place of deployment of these genes, Andrikou and Arnone discuss a deeper understanding of the evolution of myogenesis.
48.
Thus, myostatin, LIF, IL-6 and IL-7 are involved in muscle hypertrophy and myogenesis, whereas BDNF and IL-6 are involved in AMPK-mediated fat oxidation.
49.
Cardiac muscle is also formed through myogenesis but instead of recruiting stem cells to fuse and form new cells, heart muscle cells known as cardiomyocytes simply increase in size as the heart grows larger.
50.
Furthermore, Schmid and Seipel argue that since myogenesis does occur in cnidarians with the help of molecular regulatory elements found in the specification of muscles cells in bilaterians that there is evidence for a single origin for striated muscle.
