Q06413

MEF2C is a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression during the development and function of T cells, neuronal cells, and muscle cells. MEF2C is essential for studying muscle differentiation and interactions with various myogenic regulatory factors, such as MyoD and myogenin, which are vital for the transition from mesodermal precursor cells to mature muscle fibers. The ability of MEF2C to form homo- and heterodimers with other MEF2 family members allows for a complex regulatory network that fine-tunes the expression of muscle-specific genes, highlighting its importance in muscle development and regeneration.
