Myogenin, is a transcriptional activator encoded by the MYOG gene.[5] Myogenin is a muscle-specific

MRF4
.

In mice, myogenin is essential for the development of functional skeletal muscle. Myogenin is required for the proper differentiation of most myogenic precursor cells during the process of

perinatal lethality due to the lack of mature secondary skeletal muscle fibers throughout the body.[6][7]

In cell culture, myogenin can induce myogenesis in a variety of non-muscle cell types.
