| Function |
Acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation, cell cycle exit and muscle atrophy. Essential for the development of functional embryonic skeletal fiber muscle differentiation. However is dispensable for postnatal skeletal muscle growth; phosphorylation by CAMK2G inhibits its transcriptional activity in respons to muscle activity. Required for the recruitment of the FACT complex to muscle-specific promoter regions, thus promoting gene expression initiation. During terminal myoblast differentiation, plays a role as a strong activator of transcription at loci with an open chromatin structure previously initiated by MYOD1. Together with MYF5 and MYOD1, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core regions during myogenesis. Cooperates also with myocyte-specific enhancer factor MEF2D and BRG1-dependent recruitment of SWI/SNF chromatin- remodeling enzymes to alter chromatin structure at myogenic lat

| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in myoblast cells. Expressed weakly in myotubes (at protein level). Expressed strongly in denervated muscles and in satellite cells isolated from denervated muscles. Expressed weakly in innervated muscle and in satellite cells isolated from innervated muscles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21465538, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21798092}.
