Major Egr3 isoforms are generated via alternate translation start sites and differ in their abilities to activate transcription.

abstract：:The MyoD family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors function as heterodimers with members of the E-protein family to induce myogenic gene activation. The E-protein HEB is alternatively spliced to generate alpha and beta isoforms. While the function of these molecules has been studied in other cell types, q...
