Name | Myocd |
---|---|
Synonyms | Bsac2, Mycd, Srfcp |
Function | Smooth muscle cells (SM) and cardiac muscle cells-specific transcriptional factor which uses the canonical single or multiple CArG boxes DNA sequence. Acts as a cofactor of serum response factor (SRF) with the potential to modulate SRF-target genes. Plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis, urinary bladder development, and differentiation of the smooth muscle cell lineage (myogenesis). Positively regulates the transcription of genes involved in vascular smooth muscle contraction (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus speckle. Note=Nuclear, with a punctate intranuclear pattern with exclusion from nuclei |
Tissue Location | Expressed in smooth muscle cell-containing tissues (PubMed:12663482). Expressed in the heart (PubMed:11439182, PubMed:14645532, PubMed:12640126, PubMed:12663482, PubMed:20385216) Expressed in the aorta and bladder (PubMed:12640126, PubMed:12663482, PubMed:20385216). Weakly expression in the lung, testis and kidney (PubMed:14645532). Weakly expressed in the stomach (PubMed:12640126, PubMed:12663482). Weakly expressed in the intestine and colon (PubMed:12663482). [Isoform 3]: Predominantly expressed in cardiac muscle. [Isoform 5]: Predominantly expressed in smooth muscle cell-rich tissues. |

Background
Smooth muscle cells (SM) and cardiac muscle cells- specific transcriptional factor which uses the canonical single or multiple CArG boxes DNA sequence. Acts as a cofactor of serum response factor (SRF) with the potential to modulate SRF-target genes. Plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis and differentiation of the smooth muscle cell lineage (myogenesis). Isoform 1 mediates the cardiac transcription factor MEF2C-dependent transcription. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are more active than isoform 2 and isoform 4 in stimulating cardiac muscle promoters.
