About MEF2A

Cytogenetic location: 15q26.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:99,565,417-99,716,488 (from NCBI)

This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 203 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 14.6), brain (RPKM 12.2) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

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]
