Function: 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. 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). Isoform 3 and isoform 4, which lack the repressor domain, are more active than isoform 1 and isoform 2.
Subunit Structure: Forms a complex with class II HDACs in undifferentiating cells. On myogenic differentiation, HDACs are released into the cytoplasm allowing MEF2s to interact with other proteins for activation. Interacts with EP300 in differentiating cells; the interaction acetylates MEF2C leading to increased DNA binding and activation (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC7 and CARM1 (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC4 and HDAC9; the interaction with HDACs represses transcriptional activity (PubMed:10523670, PubMed:11535832). Interacts with LPIN1. Interacts with MYOCD. Interacts with AKAP13 (By similarity). Interacts with FOXK1; the interaction inhibits MEF2C transactivation activity (By similarity). Interacts (via N-terminus) with HABP4; this interaction decreases DNA-binding activity of MEF2C in myocardial cells in response to mechanical stress (PubMed:15862299).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylation on Ser-59 enhances DNA binding activity (By similarity). Phosphorylation on Ser-396 is required for Lys-391 sumoylation and inhibits transcriptional activity. Acetylated by p300 on several sites in diffentiating myocytes. Acetylation on Lys-4 increases DNA binding and transactivation (By similarity). Sumoylated on Lys-391 with SUMO2 but not by SUMO1 represses transcriptional activity. Proteolytically cleaved in cerebellar granule neurons, probably by caspase 7, following neurotoxicity. Preferentially cleaves the CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylated form which leads to neuron apoptosis and transcriptional inactivation.
Similarity: The beta domain, missing in a number of isoforms, is required for enhancement of transcriptional activity. Belongs to the MEF2 family.

Product Notes
The MEF2C mef2c (Catalog #AAA322037) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MEF2C Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MEF2C can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, IHC (Immunohistochemistry), IHC (Immunohistochemistry), ChIP (Chromatin immunoprecipitation), ELISA, ICC (Immunocytochemistry), IF (Immunofluorescence), WB (Western Blot). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEF2C mef2c for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEF2C, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
