Anti-MED4 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 4 also known as mediator complex subunit 4 (MED4), a component of Mediator or vitamin D3 receptor-interacting protein complex 36 kDa component (DRIP36) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MED4 gene. It is mapped to 13q14.2. This gene encodes a component of the Mediator complex. The Mediator complex interacts with DNA-binding gene-specific transcription factors to modulate transcription by RNA polymerase II. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

E.coli-derived human MED4 recombinant protein (Position: R27-H247) . Human MED4 shares 96.8% and 96.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MED4, respectively.
