MEF-2 Polyclonal Antibody

Myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) Homo sapiens 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.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
