Isolation of quail qMEF2D gene and its expression pattern in the developing central nervous system.
We report here the identification of the first avian MEF2 gene, termed qMEF2D. qMEF2D is the first MEF2 protein that contains 41 repeats of glutamine in the C-terminal. This quail gene is more abundantly expressed, in a transient fashion, in the developing brain than in the muscle cells.
