text	during muscle differentiation, VGLL2 mRNA levels increase and VGLL2 protein translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus

basic FUNCTION	playing an important role in the muscle differentiation and the development of skeletal muscles and of pharyngeal clefts/Rathke's pouch derived structures
	VGLL2 is an essential regulator of the switch towards a slow-contractile phenotype and oxidative metabolism during chronic overload
	VGLL2 plays an important role for functional adaptation of skeletal muscle to chronic overload

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Vgll2 (-/-) mice presented an increased number of fast-twitch type IIb fibers and exhibited a down-regulation of slow type I myosin heavy chain (MyHC) gene, Myh7, which resulted in exercise intolerance
