Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Contributes to nuclear receptor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of thyroid hormone receptor signaling pathway; and retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle tissue development; regulation of branching involved in prostate gland morphogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital heart disease; dilated cardiomyopathy; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RXRA (retinoid X receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.

NM_001290481.1 → NP_001277410.1 retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001277410.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate 5' terminal exon and it thus differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform 1. Both variants 2 and 3 encode isoform 2.
