Summary: Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within heart formation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal muscle myosin thick filament assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adaxial cell; brain; fast muscle myoblast; musculature system; and primitive olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human MEF2D (myocyte enhancer factor 2D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
