False colour image of Western blot : Anti-MEF2C antibody [EPR19089-202] - ChIP Grade staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab211493 was shown to bind specifically to MEF2C. A band was observed at 55/60 kDa in wild-type THP-1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MEF2C knockout cell line (ab313739). To generate this image, wild-type and MEF2C knockout THP-1 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab211493).

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The MEF2C protein also known as MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 polypeptide C plays an important role in gene expression regulation. This protein has a mass of approximately 52 kDa and is mainly found in the heart skeletal muscle brain and endothelial cells. It is part of the MEF2 family which includes other members like MEF2A MEF2B and MEF2D. MEF2C acts as a transcription factor binding to specific DNA sequences to activate the transcription of target genes involved in various biological processes.
Biological function summary

The MEF2C protein is essential in cellular differentiation and development. MEF2C is not part of a complex but interacts with other cofactors and regulatory proteins to fulfill its roles. It is important in the development of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells and plays a significant role in neurogenesis and neuronal connectivity in the central nervous system. This protein's precise regulation ensures proper development and function of these tissues and organs.

Pathways

MEF2C influences cellular signaling through the MAPK/ERK and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase pathways. In the MAPK/ERK pathway MEF2C modulates gene expression in response to external stimuli interacting with proteins like ERK1/2. In the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase pathway MEF2C plays a role in calcium signaling networks impacting neuronal plasticity and survival. These pathways highlight MEF2C’s involvement in muscle and brain function.

MEF2C mutations or dysregulation link to conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and neurodevelopmental disorders such as MEF2C haploinsufficiency syndrome. In cardiac disease abnormal MEF2C activity can affect heart muscle cell function often involving proteins like actin and myosin. In neurodevelopmental disorders MEF2C's interaction with various transcriptional regulators impacts neuronal networks contributing to symptoms like impaired cognitive development and autism spectrum-like behaviors.

Target data

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.
