The Mef2A Transcription Factor Coordinately Regulates a Costamere Gene Program in Cardiac Muscle
4 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The Mef2 family of transcription factors regulates muscle differentiation, but the specific gene programs controlled by each member remain unknown. Characterization of Mef2A knock-out mice has revealed severe myofibrillar defects in cardiac muscle indicating a requirement for Mef2A in cytoarchitectural integrity. Through comprehensive expression analysis of Mef2A-deficient hearts, we identified a cohort of...
