| 1322126 | MEF2A | myocyte enhancer factor 2A | 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, neu ronal 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] | 15 | 99565417 | 99716488 | Human | 230 | symbol , COSMIC , Human Proteome Map | gene, protein-coding, REVIEWED [RefSeq] |

| 1621608 | Mef2a | myocyte enhancer factor 2A | Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrion distribution; pos itive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and ventricular cardiac myofibril assembly. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of D-glucose import and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MEF2A (myocyte enhancer factor 2A).
