| UniProt functional annotation for P20153 | |||
| UniProt code: P20153. |
| Organism: | Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora. | |
| Function: | Receptor for ecdysone. May be an important modulator of insect metamorphosis. Plays an important part in embryonic and post- embryonic development. Binds to ecdysone response elements (ECRES) such as in the promoter region of s15 chorion gene. | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer of USP and ECR. Only the heterodimer is capable of high-affinity binding to ecdysone. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8247157}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus. | |
| Domain: | Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
