Gene information for MDFI (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4188
Official gene symbolMDFI
Full nameMyoD family inhibitor
Aliases,I-MF,I-mfa,
Gene summaryThis protein is a transcription factor that negatively regulates other myogenic family proteins. Studies of the mouse homolog, I-mf, show that it interferes with myogenic factor function by masking nuclear localization signals and preventing DNA binding. Knockout mouse studies show defects in the formation of vertebrae and ribs that also involve cartilage formation in these structures. [provided by RefSeq]
