Official Full Name: myocyte enhancer factor 2D
This gene is a member of the myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors. Members of this family are involved in the control of muscle and neuronal cell differentiation and development and are regulated by class II histone deacetylases. In acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines, the encoded protein was found to be fused to deleted azoosperm-associated protein 1 (DAZAP1) as a result of a translocation, suggesting a role in leukemogenesis. The encoded protein may also be involved in Parkinson's disease and myotonic dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
