Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including R-SMAD binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including cardiocyte differentiation; hepatic stellate cell activation; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell migration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-DNA complex. Used to study congenital heart disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital megabladder and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MYOCD (myocardin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Title: The mechanism of myocardial hypertrophy regulated by the interaction between mhrt and myocardin.
Explored whether and how the two factors pdx-1 and myocardin affected the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into insulin-producing cells. In this study, we investigated the process of transfecting myocardin and/or pdx-1 in MSCs in vitro. The results showed that MSCs were able to secrete insulin after cotransfection with myocardin and pdx-1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
