myocyte enhancer factor 2 proteins
In the field of molecular biology, myocyte enhancer factor-2 ( Mef2 ) proteins are a family of transcription factors which through control of gene expression are important regulators of cellular differentiation and consequently play a critical role in embryonic development. In adult organisms, Mef2 proteins mediate the stress response in some tissues. Mef2 proteins contain both MADS-box and Mef2 DNA-binding domains.
