- Background:
- MIST1 (muscle, intestine and stomach expression 1), also known as BHLHB8 (basic helix-loop-helix domain containing, class B, 8), is a 189 amino acid nuclear protein expressed in liver, brain, skeletal muscle and spleen. MIST1 contains a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain and belongs to the bHLH family of transcription factors. Members of this family bind to the E-box motifs present in the promoter or enhancer regions of a variety of developmentally regulated genes and function as either transcriptional activators or transcriptional repressors. MIST1 is capable of binding to E-box motifs as a homodimer or a heterodimer with E-proteins (E12 and E47) and is believed to play a role regulating the transcriptional activity of MyoD, a protein involved in the regulation of muscle cell development. More specifically, MIST1 functions as a repressor of MyoD activity, ensuring that myoblast populations do not differentiate. In addition, MIST1 is expressed in mammary epithelial cells and is essential for the regulation of mammary gland development.
