Med28 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of smooth muscle cell differentiation and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cortical actin cytoskeleton and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of core mediator complex and mediator complex. Orthologous to human MED28 (mediator complex subunit 28).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Med28 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
