MEF2C and Gene Control Cascades

MEF2C is a master transcription regulator that controls gene expression in coordinated cascades. These regulators are proteins that manage the activity of multiple genes that often work together to produce a complex outcome. When a master transcription regulator is activated, it can start a chain of transcriptional activatio...

Many complex cellular processes are controlled by a few key transcription factors, known as master transcription regulators. These master regulators promote or inhibit the transcription of groups of genes, such as those required for cell differentiation. 

These important proteins can function either directly or indirectly to regulate gene...
