Disease

MED25_HUMAN Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B2. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.^[1]

Function

MED25_HUMAN 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. Required for RARA/RXRA-mediated transcription.^{[2] [3] [4]}
