Rabbit anti-Human NR2C1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P13056

Target Species

Human

Target Name

NR2C1

Target Full Name

Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group C member 1

Target Function

Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds the IR7 element in the promoter of its own gene in an autoregulatory negative feedback mechanism. Primarily repressor of a broad range of genes. Binds to hormone response elements (HREs) consisting of two 5'-AGGTCA-3' half site direct repeat consensus sequences. Together with NR2C2, forms the core of the DRED (direct repeat erythroid-definitive) complex that represses embryonic and fetal globin transcription. Also activator of OCT4 gene expression. May be involved in stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Mediator of retinoic acid-regulated preadipocyte proliferation.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Nucleus, PML body.

Target Protein Families

Nuclear hormone receptor family, NR2 subfamily

Target Synonyms

NR2C1; TR2; Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group C member 1; Orphan nuclear receptor TR2; Testicular receptor 2

Target Background

This gene encodes a nuclear hormone receptor characterized by a highly conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable hinge region, and a carboxy-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD) that is typical for all members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. This protein also belongs to a large family of ligand-inducible transcription factors that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences within promoters of target genes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
