MED14OS
Description
The MED14OS (MED14 opposite strand) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome X.
MED14OS is a gene that encodes a protein called Mediator complex subunit 14. This protein is part of the Mediator complex, which plays a vital role in regulating gene expression. MED14OS is specifically involved in the recruitment of RNA polymerase II, the enzyme responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA, to gene promoters. This process is essential for initiating gene transcription. MED14OS is also implicated in various cellular functions, including cell growth, differentiation, and development.
MED14OS, also known as Mediator complex subunit 14, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MED14OS gene. It plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression by interacting with the Mediator complex, a multi-protein complex that acts as a bridge between transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. MED14OS specifically interacts with the tail module of the Mediator complex and is believed to be involved in the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to gene promoters. Additionally, MED14OS has been implicated in cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and development.
MED14OS is also known as MED14-AS1.
