MEF2A

MEF2A (Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2A) is a gene that produces a protein functioning as a transcription factor—meaning it helps control when and how specific genes are turned on or off. It plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of muscle tissue, including the heart and skeletal muscles. Additionally, MEF2A is involved in brain development and function. Proper regulation of MEF2A is essential for healthy muscle growth and neurological processes, and mutations or alterations in this gene have been linked to diseases such as cardiovascular conditions and certain neurological disorders.
