Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. The function of a transcription cofactor that activates 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. Any transcription regulator activity required for initiation or upregulation of transcription. Initiates or upregulates transcription in the presence of zinc.
