General annotation (Comments)

Function

Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds to a response element containing the sequence 5'-TCAAGGTCA-3'. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression in germ cell development during gametogenesis By similarity.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Interacts with UIMC1 By similarity. Ref.1

Subcellular location

Nucleus Probable.

Polymorphism

The polymorphism in position 192 seems to be responsible for the increase in number of vertebrae in domestic pigs. Wild boars uniformly have 19 vertebrae, while European commercial breeds have 21 to 23 vertebrae The ancestral form with Leu-192 has a 3 times lower binding activity to UIMC1 than Pro-192. The binding to NCOR1 is twice lower with Leu-192 than with Pro-192.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR6 subfamily.

Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
