The function of ENSG00000180182 (MED14, mediator complex subunit 14) is as follows. 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15340088, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15625066, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16595664}.
