Anti-MYF6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein myogenic factor 6. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 242 amino acid residues and a mass of 27 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. MYF6 is known to be involved in muscle differentiation (myogenic factor). Synonyms for this target antigen include MRF4, bHLHc4, class C basic helix-loop-helix protein 4, muscle-specific regulatory factor 4, myogenic factor 6 (herculin), and CNM3. MYF6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
