Any transcription regulator activity that prevents or downregulates transcription. The function that links a sequence-specific transcription factor to the core RNA polymerase II complex but does not bind DNA itself. The function of a transcription cofactor that represses transcription from a RNA polymerase II promoter; does not bind DNA itself. Plays a role in regulating transcription; may bind a promoter or enhancer DNA sequence or interact with a DNA-binding transcription factor. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transcription factor, any protein required to initiate or regulate transcription.
