Function | Transcription activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. Controls cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis, and is also involved in vascular development. Enhances transcriptional activation mediated by SOX18. Plays an essential role in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory by suppressing the number of excitatory synapses and thus regulating basal and evoked synaptic transmission. Crucial for normal neuronal development, distribution, and electrical activity in the neocortex. Necessary for proper development of megakaryocytes and platelets and for bone marrow B-lymphopoiesis. Required for B-cell survival and proliferation in response to BCR stimulation, efficient IgG1 antibody responses to T-cell-dependent antigens and for normal induction of germinal center B-cells. May also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture (By similarity). Isoforms that lack the repressor domain are more active than isoform 1. |

Background
MEF2C(myocyte enhancer factor 2C) also called  MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEF2C gene. MEF2C is a transcription factor in the Mef2 family.MEF2C, however, is induced late during myogenic differentiation and has a strict tissue-specific pattern of expression not seen in MEF2A or MEF2B. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the human MEF2C is mapped to chromosome 5q14, a region with homology of synteny to the mouse location.MEF2C may be involved with maintenance of the differentiated state. Both MEF2A and Mef2c programmed similar profiles of gene expression in the heart that included genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, ion handling, and metabolism. NCOA2 mediates the coactivation of MEF2C-dependent transcription through interaction with the MADS box domain of MEF2C.Â
