Rspo3 affects the differentiation of surrounding myoblasts.

Caption

Rspo3 is excreted from “slow” type I fibers (not from “fast” fibers), which promotes the accumulation of beta-catenin inside myoblasts. This leads to the increased production of MyHC I and the eventual differentiation of the myoblast into a type I fiber.
