Gene information for MED8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID112950
Official gene symbolMED8
Full namemediator complex subunit 8
Aliases,ARC32,MGC17544,MGC19641,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is one of more than 20 subunits of the mediator complex, first identified in S. cerevisiae, that is required for activation of transcription. The product of this gene also interacts with elongins B and C, and CUL2 and RBX1, to reconstitute a ubiquitin ligase. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
