transcription coactivator activity
id: GO:0003713
name: transcription coactivator activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a activating transcription factor and also with the basal transcription machinery in order to increase the frequency, rate or extent of transcription. Cofactors generally do not bind DNA, but rather mediate protein-protein interactions between activating transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery.
