On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C:

myocyte enhancer factor 2ca – hoo – myocyte enhancer factor 2c – MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) – myocyte enhancer factor 2C – myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C-like – myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C – Myocyte enhancer factor 2C protein – Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C

Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C fulfills a number of functions:

DNA binding – hydrolase activity, acting on acid anhydrides, catalyzing transmembrane movement of substances – sequence-specific DNA binding – transcription factor activity – histone deacetylase binding – protein binding – transcription activator activity – RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity – sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity

Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C is relevant to the following processes:

ATP synthesis coupled proton transport – muscle thick filament assembly – regulation of transcription – regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent – transcription – blood vessel development – blood vessel remodeling – chondrocyte differentiation – endochondral ossification – heart development – muscle cell fate determination – negative regulation of gene-specific transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter – osteoblast differentiation – positive regulation of survival gene product expression – positive regulation of transcription – positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter – skeletal muscle tissue development – smooth muscle cell differentiation – apoptosis – cell differentiation – multicellular organismal development – muscle organ development – nervous system development – cardiac cell differentiation – cardiac ventricle formation – outflow tract morphogenesis – positive regulation of protein homodimerization activity
