Summary
Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including myofibril assembly; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in cardiovascular system; myotome; nervous system; pharyngeal arch; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MEF2A (myocyte enhancer factor 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
