What Does SRF Stand For?
SRF stands for Serum Response Factor
Serum Response Factor (SRF) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression in response to growth factors and other stimuli. It is involved in various cellular processes, including muscle differentiation, cell growth, and the response to stress signals. SRF functions by binding to specific DNA sequences in the promoter regions of target genes, thereby influencing pathways related to development, tissue remodeling, and cardiovascular health. Its dysregulation has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer and heart failure.
