About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_01_0560
Species: human
Position : chr5:88714226-88716226
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: --
Pubmed ID:  32393578
Enhancer experiment: quantitative real-time PCR, immunostaining, reporter gene assays, RNA sequencing
Enhancer experiment description: We found that this enhancement is mediated by the accumulation of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in the nucleus, which drives the activation of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and promotes the transcription of a subset of synaptic activity induced genes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) and activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc).

About Target gene

Target gene : --
Strong evidence: qRT-PCR,qPCR,ChIP,3C
Less strong evidence: RNA-Seq
Target gene experiment description: We found that this enhancement is mediated by the accumulation of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in the nucleus, which drives the activation of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and promotes the transcription of a subset of synaptic activity induced genes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) and activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc).

About TF

TF name : MEF2C(5430401D19Rik,9930028G15Rik,AV011172,Mef2)
TF experiment: quantitative real-time PCR, immunostaining, reporter gene assays, RNA sequencing
TF experiment description: We found that this enhancement is mediated by the accumulation of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in the nucleus, which drives the activation of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and promotes the transcription of a subset of synaptic activity induced genes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) and activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc).

About Function

Enhancer function : We found that this enhancement is mediated by the accumulation of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in the nucleus, which drives the activation of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and promotes the transcription of a subset of synaptic activity induced genes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) and activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc).
