MED25

mediator complex subunit 25

NCBI Gene: 81857 Ensembl GeneCards UniProt: Q71SY5

Pathway candidate — not linked to PFS or PSSD by any record here

MED25 is in the library because it belongs to the signaling & transcription family. No study, report or commentary in the corpus names it, so a variant in MED25 is not, by itself, evidence of anything related to post-drug syndromes.

Gene summary

A protein-coding gene on chromosome 19 (cell signaling and transcription factors). Encodes a component of the transcriptional coactivator complex termed the Mediator complex. This complex is required for transcription of most RNA polymerase II-dependent genes.

Protein reference (UniProt)

Protein: Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 25
Function: Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Required for RARA/RXRA-mediated transcription.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitously expressed. Highest levels in brain, heart, kidney, peripheral leukocytes, placenta, skeletal muscle and spleen.
Associated conditions: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2B2 (CMT2B2); Basel-Vanagaite-Smirin-Yosef syndrome (BVSYS).

Why its pathway is in the library

General signaling/transcription machinery; no direct post-drug-syndrome link established for most members — included for completeness of the panel.

Written for the whole signaling & transcription family, not for MED25 specifically.

Mentioned in 0 corpus records

No corpus record names MED25 directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Signaling & transcription).
