Protein family

This family of proteins represent the transcriptional mediator protein subunit 6 that is required for activation of many RNA polymerase II promoters and which are conserved from yeast to humans.

Interactions

MED6 has been shown to interact with:

• Cyclin-dependent kinase 8,
• Estrogen receptor alpha,
• MED21, and
• Thyroid hormone receptor alpha.
