Gene information for MEF2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4205
Official gene symbolMEF2A
Full namemyocyte enhancer factor 2A
Aliases,ADCAD1,RSRFC4,RSRFC9,
Gene summaryThe 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.
