Anti-MED15 Antibody Picoband® (HRP Conjugate)

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 15, also known as Gal11, Spt13 in yeast and PCQAP, ARC105, or TIG-1 in humans is a protein encoded by the MED15 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the multiprotein complexes PC2 and ARC/DRIP and may function as a transcriptional coactivator in RNA polymerase II transcription. This gene contains stretches of trinucleotide repeats and is located in the chromosome 22 region which is deleted in DiGeorge syndrome.

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 15; Activator-recruited cofactor 105 kDa component; ARC105; CTG repeat protein 7a; Mediator complex subunit 15; Positive cofactor 2 glutamine/Q-rich-associated protein; PC2 glutamine/Q-rich-associated protein; TPA-inducible gene 1 protein; TIG-1; Trinucleotide repeat-containing gene 7 protein; MED15; ARC105, CTG7A, PCQAP, TIG1, TNRC7;

Expressed in all tissues examined, including heart, brain, lung, spleen, thymus, pancreas, blood leukocyte and placenta. However, the level of expression varied, with highest expression in the placenta and peripheral blood and lowest in the pancreas and kidney.

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 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 cholesterol-dependent gene regulation. Positively regulates the Nodal signaling pathway.
