Summary
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; nuclear glucocorticoid receptor binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulus; dopaminergic neuron differentiation; and fat cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dopamine biosynthetic process; general adaptation syndrome; and nervous system development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ear; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Used to study Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human NR4A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2). [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.
