The present invention relates generally to a regulatory molecule and to genetic sequences encoding same. More particularly, the present invention provides a molecule involved in, associated with or which otherwise facilitates myogenesis. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the regulatory molecule is a transcription factor involved in the expression of genes resulting in the determination of skeletal muscle (a sequence encoding the regulatory molecule is disclosed within the specification as Seq. Id. No: 2). The identification of the regulatory molecule of the present invention permits the development of agents capable of modulating myogenesis including therapeutic agents capable of ameliorating aberrations in pyogenesis such as but not limited to myogenic cancers.
