Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16595664}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10198638}.
