MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2, polypeptide C (myocyte enhancer factor 2C), also known as MEF2C, is a transcription factor in the Mef2 family.^[1]^[2] The Mef2c gene is necessary for proper embryonic development: mice without a functional copy of the Mef2c gene die before birth and have abnormalities in the heart and vascular system.^[3]
