Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 4 also known as mediator complex subunit 4 (MED4), a component of Mediator or vitamin D3 receptor-interacting protein complex 36 kDa component (DRIP36) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MED4 gene.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MED4 mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription, subunit 4 homolog (S. cerevisiae)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=29079| accessdate = }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Rachez C, Lemon BD, Suldan Z, Bromleigh V, Gamble M, Näär AM, Erdjument-Bromage H, Tempst P, Freedman LP | title = Ligand-dependent transcription activation by nuclear receptors requires the DRIP complex | journal = Nature | volume = 398 | issue = 6730 | pages = 824–8 | date = April 1999 | pmid = 10235266 | doi = 10.1038/19783 | bibcode = 1999Natur.398..824R | s2cid = 204992765 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Zhang QH, Ye M, Wu XY, Ren SX, Zhao M, Zhao CJ, Fu G, Shen Y, Fan HY, Lu G, Zhong M, Xu XR, Han ZG, Zhang JW, Tao J, Huang QH, Zhou J, Hu GX, Gu J, Chen SJ, Chen Z | title = Cloning and functional analysis of cDNAs with open reading frames for 300 previously undefined genes expressed in CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells | journal = Genome Research | volume = 10 | issue = 10 | pages = 1546–60 | date = October 2000 | pmid = 11042152 | pmc = 310934 | doi = 10.1101/gr.140200 }}

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the vitamin D receptor-interacting protein (DRIP) complex which functions as a nuclear receptor coactivator. The DRIP complex is capable of activating nuclear receptors in a ligand-dependent manner.
