| 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 RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence or presence of hormone ligand, acts mainly as an activator of gene expression due to weak binding to corepressors (PubMed:12554770). The RXRA/RARB heterodimer can act as a repressor on the DR1 element and as an activator on the DR5 element (PubMed:29021580). In concert with RARG, required for skeletal growth, matrix homeostasis and growth plate function (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P22605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12554770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29021580}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer; with a RXR molecule (By similarity). Binds DNA preferentially as a RAR/RXR heterodimer (By similarity). Heterodimerizes (via NR LBD) with RXRA (PubMed:29021580). Interacts weakly with NCOR2 (PubMed:12554770). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12554770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29021580}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28167758}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28167758}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Beta-1]: Nucleus. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Beta-2]: Nucleus. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Beta-4]: Cytoplasm. | |
| 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. | |
| Domain: | The DNA-binding nuclear receptor domain and the NR LBD domain are required for binding of the RARB/RXRA heterodimer to both DR1 and DR5 DNA elements. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1663808}. | |
| Disease: | Microphthalmia, syndromic, 12 (MCOPS12) [MIM:615524]: A form of microphthalmia, a disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities. MCOPS12 patients manifest variable features, including diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypoplasia, and cardiac abnormalities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075189, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27120018}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=CAA27637.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
