NR6A1 nuclear receptor subfamily 6 group A member 1 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: NR6A1provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: nuclear receptor subfamily 6 group A member 1provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:7985

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: RTR; GCNF; NR61; hRTR; CT150; GCNF1; hGCNF
Summary: This gene encodes an orphan nuclear receptor which is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family. Its expression pattern suggests that it may be involved in neurogenesis and germ cell development. The protein can homodimerize and bind DNA, but in vivo targets have not been identified. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
Expression: Biased expression in testis (RPKM 11.0), thyroid (RPKM 1.5) and 7 other tissues See more

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.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001265475.1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the central coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 4), compared to isoform 1.
