MED31

MED31 (Mediator Complex Subunit 31) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Gene Expression and Regulation of lipid metabolism by Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha). Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein complex binding and RNA polymerase II transcription cofactor activity.

Full Name

MEDIATOR COMPLEX SUBUNIT 31

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.
