Background
Myogenin is a member of a family of myogenic regulatory genes, which includes MyoD, myf5 and MRF4. These genes encode a set of transcription factors, which are essential for muscle development. Expression of myogenin is restricted to cells of skeletal muscle origin. It is therefore a useful marker for tumors of the muscle lineage, being strongly expressed in alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas.

Synonyms: Myogenin, Myogenic factor 4, Myf-4

Source
Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant protein containing rat myogenin amino acids 30-224 and mouse myeloma NS1 cells.

Product
X1415M, clone F12B recognizes a protein of 34kDa, identified as myogenin. Its epitope localizes between aa 158-178 of myogenin.

Product Form: Unconjugated

Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide
