Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; heart development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in cell junction; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Orthologous to several human genes including MEF2B (myocyte enhancer factor 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Cyclic stretch initiates a signal through MEF2B that potentiates Nox1-mediated ROS production and causes VSMC to switch to a synthetic phenotype.
Title: MEF2B-Nox1 signaling is critical for stretch-induced phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

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.
