Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Function | Transcriptional activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element, 5'-YTA[AT](4)TAR-3', found in numerous muscle-specific genes. Also involved in the activation of numerous growth factor- and stress-induced genes. Mediates cellular functions not only in skeletal and cardiac muscle development, but also in neuronal differentiation and survival. Plays diverse roles in the control of cell growth, survival and apoptosis via p38 MAPK signaling in muscle-specific and/or growth factor-related transcription. In cerebellar granule neurons, phosphorylated and sumoylated MEF2A represses transcription of NUR77 promoting synaptic differentiation. Associates with chromatin to the ZNF16 promoter. |

Background
MEF2A(myocyte enhancer factor 2A) also known as RSRFC4, RSRFC9,is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEF2A gene. MEF2A is a transcription factor in the Mef2 family. Several alternative splice variants of MEF2A were identified that were predicted to encode different protein products. Using immunofluorescence, MEF2A protein was detected in the nuclei of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. The MEF2A gene is mapped on 15q26.3. MEF2A may be involved in induction of muscle differentiation and MEF2C in maintenance of the differentiated state. Coimmunoprecipitation assays indicated that GEF bound both MEF2A and MEF2D in vitro, and MEF2D interfered with the transcriptional activation promoted by the cooperative interaction of MEF2A and GEF. A transcriptional repressor form of MEF2A that is sumoylated at lys403 promoted dendritic claw differentiation.
