Gene information for MYOCD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID93649
Official gene symbolMYOCD
Full namemyocardin
Aliases,MYCD,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a nuclear protein, which is expressed in heart, aorta, and in smooth muscle cell-containing tissues. It functions as a transcriptional co-activator of serum response factor (SRF) and modulates expression of cardiac and smooth muscle-specific SRF-target genes, and thus may play a crucial role in cardiogenesis and differentiation of the smooth muscle cell lineage. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
