MEF2B, a member of MADS family, is expressed during early embryonic development. It is also expressed in brain during neuronal survival and differentiation. The member of this family exists in three different states such as helix, sheet and coil with MADS domain.
Synonyms: Anti-Myocyte enhancer factor 2B; Anti-RSRFR2
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: MEF2B (Myocyte enhancer factor 2B) is involved in the myogenic transformation of the epithelial cells. In presence of calcium, MEF2B regulates several gene expression in collaboration with Class II histone deacetylases (HDACs). It also regulates a series of gene expression associated with the development of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
