Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 29 is a transcription suppressor that in humans is encoded by the MED29 gene.[1] It represents subunit MED29 of the Mediator complex.
MED29, along with Med11 and MED28 in mammals, is part of the core head-region of the Mediator complex. Med29 is the apparent orthologue of the Drosophila melanogaster Intersex protein (IXL), which interacts directly with, and functions as a transcriptional coactivator for, the DNA-binding transcription factor Doublesex, so it is likely that mammalian Med29 serves as a target for one or more DNA-binding transcriptional activators.[2]
