Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 11

UniProtKB accession:  Q9P6Q0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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 pre-initiation complex (PIC) with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. The essential med11/22 heterodimer specifically functions in promoting stable PIC formation (By similarity).
