MSC (Musculin) is a protein coding gene located on chromosome 8q13.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional repressor that can bind an E-box element in vitro either as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with E2A. This protein complex is capable of inhibiting the transactivation ability of E47, an E2A protein, in mammalian cells.
