MED8 - mediator complex subunit 8 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as ARC32

Gene ID: 112950 | Gene type: protein coding

About MED8

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:43,383,917-43,389,800 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 212 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 12.7), placenta (RPKM 11.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein component of the mediator complex, which aids in transcriptional activation through interaction with RNA polymerase II and gene-specific transcription factors. The encoded protein may also function in ubiquitin ligation and protein degradation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
