Description

Exhibits transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; ligamentous ossification; and skeletal muscle myosin thick filament assembly. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; mesoderm; musculature system; pericardial region; and pharyngeal arch. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant mental retardation 20. Orthologous to human MEF2C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C).
