General annotation (Comments)

Function

Binds to the B1A response-element.

Subcellular location

Nucleus Potential.

Tissue specificity

Isoform alpha is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. Isoform beta is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and low expressed in fetal brain and placenta.

Involvement in disease

Defects in NR4A3 are a cause of Ewing sarcoma (ES) [MIM:612219]. A highly malignant, metastatic, primitive small round cell tumor of bone and soft tissue that affects children and adolescents. It belongs to the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors, a group of morphologically heterogeneous neoplasms that share the same cytogenetic features. They are considered neural tumors derived from cells of the neural crest. Ewing sarcoma represents the less differentiated form of the tumors. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NR4A3 is found in patients with Erwing sarcoma. Translocation t(9;22)(q22-31;q11-12) with EWSR1.

Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NR4A3 is a cause of a form of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (EMC). Translocation t(9;17)(q22;q11) with TAF2N.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR4 subfamily.

Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAB02581.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 4 and 20.

The sequence AAB36006.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform Alpha (identifier: Q92570-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform Beta (identifier: Q92570-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     419-443: YCPTDQAAAGTDAEHVQQFYNLLTA → VSFMISCFQMNDQGLYLWLLVIRVD
     444-626: Missing.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q92570-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-1: M → MHDSIRFGNVDM
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
