About MRTFB
Enables transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of miRNA transcription; positive regulation of striated muscle tissue development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynapse.
