Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation and positive regulation of stem cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; and urinary system. Orthologous to human NR2E1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 1).

Nr2e1 deficiency aggravates insulin resistance and chronic inflammation of visceral adipose tissues in a diet-induced obese mice model.

we conclude that TLX, by repressing Hes1 expression, counteracts quiescence and NOTCH activation in NSCs, thereby relieving NOTCH-mediated lateral inhibition of proliferation in basal progenitors.
Title: The Orphan Nuclear Receptor TLX Represses Hes1 Expression, Thereby Affecting NOTCH Signaling and Lineage Progression in the Adult SEZ.
The results strongly suggest that TLX acts through E2F6 to regulate islet beta cell proliferation.
Title: Nuclear receptor TLX regulates islet beta cell proliferation via E2F6.
A lack of TLX is implicated in deregulation of microglial phenotype and that consequently, the survival and function of newborn cells in the hippocampus is impaired. TLX may be an important target in understanding inflammatory-associated impairments in neurogenesis.
Title: Absence of the neurogenesis-dependent nuclear receptor TLX induces inflammation in the hippocampus.
Results demonstrate that social isolation stress during adolescence attenuates an exercise-induced increase in neurogenesis. This effect is most pronounced in the ventral hippocampus. TLX is necessary for the pro-neurogenic effects of exercise during adolescence.
Title: Deletion of TLX and social isolation impairs exercise-induced neurogenesis in the adolescent hippocampus.
This study demonstrated that deletion of Tlx impairs motor, cognitive and anxiety-related behaviours during adolescence and adulthood in male and female mice with most effects occurring during adolescence rather than adulthood, independent of housing conditions.
Title: The nuclear receptor Tlx regulates motor, cognitive and anxiety-related behaviours during adolescence and adulthood.
This study demonstrated that Nr2e1 could be regulated by retinoic acid, which would aid a better understanding of the mechanism underlying RA-induced brain abnormality.

Nr2e1 deficiency augments palmitate-induced oxidative stress. Nr2e1 deficiency also resulted in decreases in antioxidant enzymes and expression level of Nrf2.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
