The present invention relates to a function of PHF20 (PHD finger protein 20) in a myogenic differentiation mechanism and, more particularly, to a use of a PHF20 gene expression inhibitor or a PHF20 protein activity inhibitor. The PHF20 gene expression inhibitor or the PHF20 protein activity inhibitor according to the present invention promotes muscle differentiation in vitro and in vivo, and thus can be utilized in various ways in the field of prevention, improvement or treatment of diseases caused by muscle loss. |
