The aim of the present research was to understand the mechanisms of skeletal muscle growth and hypertrophy. We hypothesized that the myogenic differentiation was regulated by DNA demethylation via deamination by APOBEC2 enzyme. As a result, we found that lack of APOBEC2 promoted the myogenic differentiation. APOBEC2 might negatively regulate muscle differentiation.
