Summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; RNA polymerase II complex recruiting activity; and RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Part of core mediator complex. Used to study infantile cerebral and cerebellar atrophy with postnatal progressive microcephaly. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
