How is gene expression related to building muscle mass?

07 Mar


Muscle is built through proliferation of muscle cells the more cells the bigger the muscle and through the synthesis of the structural proteins that are the functional parts of muscle (actin, myosin and others).

Gene expression affects both of these processes. Cell proliferation is regulated through an extremely complex set of controls, but expression of actin and myosin genes is pretty well understood these days.

    Genes are related to muscle mass as they are related to hair color and everything else, they code for specific elasticity, lenght and so forth.
