What's a GeneRIF?

MRF4 acts by stabilizing a repressor complex that controls MEF2 activity.
Title: MRF4 negatively regulates adult skeletal muscle growth by repressing MEF2 activity.
Decreased myostatin expression combined with significant muscle atrophy is observed in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with heart failure; MRF4 levels positively correlate with type I MyHC isoform.

the timing of up-regulation can determine the progress of muscle regeneration

MRF4 is co-expressed with MyoD and myogenin in nuclei of regenerating myotubes and young myofibers, but it is not expressed in satellite cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
