Target Details for MEF2A

Target: MEF2A (Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2A (MEF2A))

Alternative Name: MEF2A

Background:

Background Information: The MEF2 genes are members of the MADS gene family (named for the yeast mating type-specific transcription factor MCM1, the plant homeotic genes 'agamous' and 'deficiens' and the human serum response factor SRF (MIM 600589)),a family that also includes several homeotic genes and other transcription factors, all of which share a conserved DNA-binding domain. The process of differentiation from mesodermal precursor cells to myoblasts has led to the discovery of a variety of tissue-specific factors that regulate muscle gene expression. The myogenic basic helix-loop-helix proteins, including myoD (MIM159970), myogenin (MIM 159980), MYF5 (MIM 159990), and MRF4 (MIM159991) are one class of identified factors. A second family of DNA binding regulatory proteins is the myocyte-specific enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) family. Each of these proteins binds to the MEF2 target DNA sequence present in the regulatory regions of many, if not all, muscle-specific genes.
