Target Details for MEF2A

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

Alternative Name: MEF2A

Background:

Synonyms: Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A,Serum response factor-like protein 1,MEF2A,MEF2,

Tissue Specificity: Isoform MEF2 and isoform MEFA are expressed only in skeletal and cardiac muscle and in the brain. Isoform RSRFC4 and isoform RSRFC9 are expressed in all tissues examined. .

Background: Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEF2A gene. It is mapped to 15q26. The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding transcription factor that activates many muscle-specific, growth factor-induced, and stress-induced genes. The encoded protein can act as a homodimer or as a heterodimer and is involved in several cellular processes, including muscle development, neuronal differentiation, cell growth control, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene could be a cause of autosomal dominant coronary artery disease 1 with myocardial infarction (ADCAD1). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
