The function of Rad in the regulation of myogenic satellite cells

Muscle satellite cells are integral for muscle growth and regeneration, but their molecular regulation is not yet fully elucidated. We have previously demonstrated that a novel Ras related low molecular weight GTPase, Rad, is up‐regulated during the phases of muscle regeneration corresponding to the proliferation and differentiation of muscle satellite cells. To define Rad's role in the regulation of the C2C12 muscle satellite cell line Rad was …
