| UniProt code: P48443. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |

| Function: | Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RAR/RXR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. The high affinity ligand for RXRs is 9-cis retinoic acid (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer with a RAR molecule (PubMed:28167758). Binds DNA preferentially as a RAR/RXR heterodimer (PubMed:28167758). Interacts with RARA (PubMed:28167758). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P19793, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28167758}. | |

| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in aortic endothelial cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28167758}. | |
| Domain: | Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Ptm: | Acetylated by EP300. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17761950}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
