Description

Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ligamentous ossification; muscle cell development; and skeletal system development. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; fin bud; musculature system; pericardial region; and pharyngeal arch. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, stereotypic hand movements, and impaired language. Orthologous to human MEF2C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C).
