Human Gene Set: GOBP_MYOTUBE_DIFFERENTIATION

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_MYOTUBE_DIFFERENTIATION

Standard name GOBP_MYOTUBE_DIFFERENTIATION
Systematic name M14770
Brief description The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a myotube cell. Myotube differentiation starts with myoblast fusion and the appearance of specific cell markers (this is the cell development step). Then individual myotubes can fuse to form bigger myotubes and start to contract. Myotubes are multinucleated cells that are formed when proliferating myoblasts exit the cell cycle, differentiate and fuse. [GOC:mtg_muscle]
