    Summary
    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; positive 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.
