Model for functions of Smyd1 in the adult myocardium. Under basal conditions, Smyd1 functions as a transcriptional repressor to inhibit cell growth and maintain cardiomyocyte size. Loss of Smyd1 in the adult myocardium leads to prohypertrophic signaling resulting in myocyte growth, fibrosis, and functional decline.
