Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of MEF2C (arrow) using rabbit polyclonal MEF2C Antibody (T300) (RB11009). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the MEF2C gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human brain tissue reacted with MEF2C Antibody (T300), which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.)

Related Product Information for anti-MEF2C antibody

MEF2C is a transcription activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. This protein controls cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis, and is also involved in vascular development. It may also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture.

NCBI Description

This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe mental retardation, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Uniprot Description

MEF2C: transcription factor of the MADS family which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. May be involved in myogenesis, neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture. Three splice-variant isoforms have been described.
