MED31 polyclonal antibody

Med31 (mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 31), also known as Soh1 or CGI-125, is a 131 amino acid protein that belongs to the mediator complex subunit 31 family. Mediator proteins serve as connectors between transcriptional activators and basal transcription machinery. Med31 is an evolutionary conserved coregulator of RNA polymerase II transcription and is a stable component of the Mediator complex. It is involved in forming a scaffold with other regulatory proteins for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and general transcription factors. Med31 is required for normal levels of gene conversion during meiosis and contributes in the coordination of cellular processes by regulating the expression of larger sets of genes.
