MRTFB

Myocardin-related transcription factor B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MRTFB gene (previously MKL2). Members of the myocardin family bind to the transcription factor serum response factor (SRF) and act as coactivators controlling genes of relevance for myogenic differentiation, motile function and addiction.
