From: The myogenic kinome: protein kinases critical to mammalian skeletal myogenesis
Transcription factors and kinases regulating the different stages of myogenesis. A graphical representation of myogenesis is shown. Embryonic precursors or quiescent satellite cells become activated to form proliferating myoblasts, which differentiate into myocytes that fuse to form a multinucleated myotube. The upper portion of the figure shows the myogenic transcription factors required for this process and the stages for which they are required. The lower portion shows the myogenic protein kinases and the stages that they regulate.
