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.

MEF2A (Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2A) and MEF2C (Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C) are transcription factors belonging to the MEF2 family. MEF2A has a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa while MEF2C is around 51 kDa. Both MEF2A and MEF2C modulate gene expression through direct binding to regulatory DNA sequences. These proteins express in numerous tissues including muscle brain and vascular tissues indicating their extensive role in various cellular processes. MEF2A and MEF2C closely relate due to their structural similarities and functional overlap often working in concert with similar cofactors and regulatory proteins.
MEF2A and MEF2C regulate multiple cellular processes especially in muscle differentiation and neuronal development. They frequently form complexes with other transcriptional regulators and play a significant role in the activation and repression of target genes. Through their interaction with the regulatory regions of DNA they help coordinate the transcriptional response necessary for cell growth development and survival. Their important involvement in muscle and nervous system development positions them as central players in maintaining proper cellular function during these processes.
MEF2A and MEF2C serve as integral components in the MAPK and calcium signaling pathways. These pathways impact cellular response to environmental stimuli and regulate critical processes such as cell growth and differentiation. Interacting proteins like HDACs (histone deacetylases) further modulate the activity of MEF2A and MEF2C affecting their ability to regulate gene expression in response to various signals. This relationship is essential because it sustains the balance between activation and repression of target genes within these pathways.
MEF2A and MEF2C have significant implications in cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. Mutations or dysregulation in MEF2A often link to coronary artery disease highlighting its importance in cardiovascular health. Meanwhile MEF2C plays a role in autism spectrum disorders with abnormalities in its expression or function disrupting normal neuronal development. Both MEF2A and MEF2C interact with proteins such as GATA4 in the context of cardiac function and synaptic proteins for neuronal development respectively providing potential therapeutic targets for addressing the associated diseases and disorders.
