NR5A1 nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1

Gene ID: 2516, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ELP; SF1; FTZ1; POF7; SF-1; AD4BP; FTZF1; SPGF8; SRXX4; SRXY3; hSF-1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator involved in sex determination. The encoded protein binds DNA as a monomer. Defects in this gene are a cause of XY sex reversal with or without adrenal failure as well as adrenocortical insufficiency without ovarian defect. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
