Gene: MED21

Alternate names for this Gene: SRB7|SURB7|hSrb7

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the mediator complex subunit 21 family. The encoded protein interacts with the human RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and is involved in transcriptional regulation of RNA polymerase II transcribed genes. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p11.23

Description of this Gene: mediator complex subunit 21

Type of Gene: protein-coding
