Gene Description

The Mediator is a multiprotein coactivator that is required by DNA-binding transcription factors for transcriptional activation of polymerase II (see MIM 180660)-transcribed genes. MED21 is a Mediator subunit predicted to reside in the middle module and appears to be a core subunit found in nearly all Mediator preparations (summary by Sato et al., 2004 (PubMed 15175163)).(supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010)
