Myogenin Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (Frozen) (IHC (F)) — Immunohistochemical analysis of a frozen tissue section ofhuman alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma using a Myogenin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-41042) at5 µg/mL.

Myogenin Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis of Myogenin expression in various small-round cell tumor lines using a Myogenin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-41042). a Myogenin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-41042) strongly reacted with a band of appox. 34 kDa in alveolar rhobdomyosarcoma line (Rh30). All other small-round cell tumor lines were negative. PFSK-1 (a primitive neuroectodermal tumor line), EB2 (a lymphoma line), SK-N-SH (a neuroblastoma line), SJSA-1 (Ewing's sarcoma line).

Target Information

Myogenin is a member of the MyoD family of myogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that also includes MyoD, Myf-5, and MRF4 (also known as herculinor Myf-6). MyoD family members are expressed exclusively in skeletal muscle and play a key role in activating myogenesis by binding to enhancer sequences of muscle-specific genes. The regulatory domain of MyoD is approximately 70 amino acids in length and includes both a basic DNA binding motif and a bHLH dimerization motif. MyoD family members share about 80% amino acid homology in their bHLH motifs. Transfection of myogenin and other family members into a variety of non-muscle cells has been shown to either convert these cells to myogenic cells, or to transcriptionally activate a set of otherwise unexpressed muscle-specific genes. In addition to activating muscle specific genes, members of the MyoD family members activate their own transcription and transactivate the transcription of other MyoD family members.
