EGF and disorder of glycogen metabolism: GGF2 also induced the expression of genes that are down-regulated in humans and/or animal experimental models of myopathy, including KLF10 (encodes Kruppel-like factor 10), purinergic receptor P2Y (P2RY1), the gene encoding the lactate transporter MCT4 (SLC16A3), retinoid receptor γ (RXRG), triadin (TRDN), myosin heavy chain (MYH1), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and the skeletal muscle isoform of phosphorylase kinase (PHKA1) that when mutated causes muscle glycogenosis (Figure 5b).
