MED30
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.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the Mediator complex subunit 30 family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
