Gene: MED25

Alternate names for this Gene: ACID1|ARC92|BVSYS|CMT2B2|P78|PTOV2|TCBAP0758

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a component of the transcriptional coactivator complex termed the Mediator complex. This complex is required for transcription of most RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. The encoded protein plays a role in chromatin modification and in preinitiation complex assembly. Mutations in this gene are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B2.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33

Description of this Gene: mediator complex subunit 25

Type of Gene: protein-coding
