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.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human MEF2A, different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid, and from the related rat sequence by two amino acids.
Contents

Protein Name
Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A
Protein Function
Transcriptional activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element, 5'-YTA[AT] (4)TAR-3', found in numerous muscle- specific genes. Also involved in the activation of numerous growth factor- and stress-induced genes. Mediates cellular functions not only in skeletal and cardiac muscle development, but also in neuronal differentiation and survival. Plays diverse roles in the control of cell growth, survival and apoptosis via p38 MAPK signaling in muscle-specific and/or growth factor-related transcription. In cerebellar granule neurons, phosphorylated and sumoylated MEF2A represses transcription of NUR77 promoting synaptic differentiation. Associates with chromatin to the ZNF16 promoter.
