MYOD1 myogenic differentiation 1

ENSG00000129152 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation. Together with MYF5 and MYOG, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core region during myogenesis. Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Interacts with and is inhibited by the twist protein. This interaction probably involves the basic domains of both proteins (By similarity). .

In 14 of 15 cancers, the evidence for MYOD1 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

UniProt Ubiquitination

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 1.0055999755859375 (upper bound 1.5484000444412231). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
