Summary
Myocardin is a smooth and cardiac muscle-specific transcriptional coactivator of serum response factor. When expressed ectopically in nonmuscle cells, myocardin can induce smooth muscle differentiation by its association with serum response factor (SRF; MIM 600589).[supplied by OMIM].
Gene References into function
- Myocardin is a critical serum response factor cofactor regulating smooth muscle cell differentiation; forced expression of myocardin activated expression of SM22 alpha, smooth muscle alpha-actin, and calponin-h1 genes in mouse ES cells
- HERP1 and myocardin expression was localized to smooth muscle cells in the neointima in human coronary atherosclerotic lesions.
- myocardin-MYOCD overexpression in small cerebral arteries appears to initiate independently of amyloid beta-peptide a pathogenic pathway mediating arterial hypercontractility
- Myocardin is frequently repressed during malignant transformation, contributing to a differentiation defect
- the SRC3-myocardin interaction is a site of convergence for nuclear hormone receptor-mediated and VSMC-specific gene regulation
- Data show that fibroblasts from human postmyocardial infarction scars acquire properties of cardiomyocytes after transduction with a recombinant myocardin gene.
- Forced expression of the myocardin (MyoC) gene in human ventricular scar fibroblasts leads to MyoC-dependent activation of genes that encode connexins, strongly enforcing intercellular electrical coupling.
- data suggest that functional natural myocardin promoter variation might be a genetic factor contributing to inter-individual differences in the development of cardiac hypertrophy
- Myocd is sufficient for the establishment of a SMC-like contractile phenotype.
- Foxo3a could negatively regulate myocardin expression levels through up-regulating catalase and the consequent reduction of ROS levels
- A rare human sequence variant reveals myocardin autoinhibition
- We suggest that SRF and MYOCD function as a transcriptional switch, controlling Abeta cerebrovascular clearance and progression of AD.
