'''MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C)''', also known as '''MEF2C''', is a [[transcription factor]] in the [[Mef2]] family.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Molkentin JD, Black BL, Martin JF, Olson EN |title=Mutational analysis of the DNA binding, dimerization, and transcriptional activation domains of MEF2C. |journal=Mol Cell Biol. |volume=16 |issue=6 |pages=2627-36 |year=1996 |pmid=8649370}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MEF2C myocyte enhancer factor 2C| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4208| accessdate = }}</ref>  The Mef2c [[gene]] is necessary for proper [[embryo]]nic development: mice without a functional copy of the Mef2c gene die before birth and have abnormalities in the [[heart]] and [[blood vessel|vascular system]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Bi W, Drake CJ, Schwarz JJ |title=The transcription factor MEF2C-null mouse exhibits complex vascular malformations and reduced cardiac expression of angiopoietin 1 and VEGF |journal=Developmental Biology |volume=211 |issue=2 |pages=255-67 |year=1999 |pmid=10395786}}</ref>


The gene is located at 5q14.3 on the [[Sense (molecular biology)|minus (Crick)]] strand and is 200,723 bases in length. The encoded protein has 473 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 51.221 kilo[[Dalton (unit)|Dalton]]s. Three isoforms have been identified. Several post translational modifications have been identified including phosphorylation on [[serine]]-59 and serine-396, sumoylation on [[lysine]]-391, acetylation on lysine-4 and proteolytic cleavage.

==Biological significance==
 
This gene is involved in cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis and vascular development. It may also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture. Mice without a functional copy of the ''Mef2c'' gene die before birth and have abnormalities in the [[heart]] and [[blood vessel|vascular system]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Bi W, Drake CJ, Schwarz JJ | title = The transcription factor MEF2C-null mouse exhibits complex vascular malformations and reduced cardiac expression of angiopoietin 1 and VEGF | journal = Developmental Biology | volume = 211 | issue = 2 | pages = 255–67 | date = Jul 1999 | pmid = 10395786 | doi = 10.1006/dbio.1999.9307 }}</ref> It is one of the targets of an oncomiR, [[MIRN21]].

Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C also known as MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEF2C gene.[1][2] MEF2C is a transcription factor in the Mef2 family.[3][4]

Genomics

The gene is located at 5q14.3 on the minus (Crick) strand and is 200,723 bases in length. The encoded protein has 473 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 51.221 kiloDaltons. Three isoforms have been identified. Several post translational modifications have been identified including phosphorylation on serine-59 and serine-396, sumoylation on lysine-391, acetylation on lysine-4 and proteolytic cleavage.

Interactions

MEF2C has been shown to interact with:

Biological significance

This gene is involved in cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis and vascular development. It may also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture. Mice without a functional copy of the Mef2c gene die before birth and have abnormalities in the heart and vascular system.[12] It is one of the targets of an oncomiR, MIRN21.

In humans mutations of this gene result in autosomal dominant mental retardation 20 (MRD20),[13] characterised by severe psychomotor impairment, periodic tremor and an abnormal motor pattern with mirror movement of the upper limbs observed during infancy, hypotonia, abnormal EEG, epilepsy, absence of speech, autistic behavior, bruxism, and mild dysmorphic features, mild thinning of the corpus callosum and delay of white matter myelination in the occipital lobes[14]

MEF2C-binding site is associated with minor allele of SNP rs630923, associated with the risk of multiple sclerosis, and responsible for reduced CXCR5 gene promoter activity in B-cells during activation, that could lead to decreased autoimmune response [15]
