Summary: This gene encodes a ligand-activated transcription factor that shares structural features in common with nuclear hormone receptor family members. This protein functions as a receptor for bile acids, and when bound to bile acids, binds to DNA and regulates the expression of genes involved in bile acid synthesis and transport. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
Expression: Biased expression in liver (RPKM 14.7), small intestine (RPKM 8.3) and 6 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) differs 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and uses an alternate in-frame splice site, compared to variant 1. It represents use of an alternate promoter and initiates translation at an alternate start codon. The encoded isoform (4, also known as FXRbeta-) has a distinct N-terminus and is longer than isoform 1.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (7) uses an alternate internal splice site compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
