Fusion of muscle progenitors drives continuous myonuclear accretion during exercise and impacts various adaptations in skeletal muscle including response to injury and hypertrophy.
An activator of branching nucleation by Arp2/3 complex directly synergizes with an activator of linear filament nucleation to initiate assembly of actin networks that drive endocytosis.

MYF5 and MYOD regulate rhabdomyosaroma growth and tumor-propagating potential, acting more than as passive markers retained from the target cell-of-origin during transformation.
Efficiency measures the fundamental link between agonist binding and protein conformational change, and in nicotinic receptors has 5 values that calibrate energy changes in the induced fit that triggers activation.
