Summary
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of mediator complex. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Orthologous to human MED8 (mediator complex subunit 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
