About Scx

Summary

This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix type transcription factor involved in mesoderm and heart valve formation. The encoded protein is expressed during embryonic development of tendons and ligaments. The gene product regulates Collagen type I gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and it may play a role in myocardial remodeling. The protein is expressed in the scar area of the adult heart following myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
