MYF5
myogenic factor 5 | bHLHc2

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to E-box binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including muscle cell fate commitment; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; skeletal system morphogenesis; and somitogenesis. Located in nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

MYF5 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating MYF5 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for MYF5. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = MYF5 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to MYF5

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of MYF5, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
