Inhibitor of Myom3 inhibits proliferation and promotes differentiation of sheep myoblasts

Skeletal muscle quality and yield are important production traits in livestock, and improving skeletal muscle quality while increasing its yield is an important goal of economic breeding. The proliferation and differentiation process of sheep myoblasts directly affects the growth and development of their muscles, thereby affecting the yield of mutton. Myomesin 3 (Myom3), as a functional gene related to muscle growth, currently lacks research on its function in myoblasts. This study aims to investigate the effect of the Myom3 gene on the proliferation and differentiation of sheep myoblasts and its potential molecular mechanisms.
