    text
  • granule cell of the hippocampus and cerebellum
  • activated receptor/ligand complex is translocated to the nucleus where it binds to hormone response elements of target genes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a a role in the regulation of gene expression in specific cell types; in the testis, control gene expression during spermatogenesis, particularly during the meiotic phase
  • might function as an apoptosis modulator through induction of BCL2 gene expression
  • NR2C1/NR2C2 directly represses GATA1 transcription in erythroid progenitor cells through an evolutionarily conserved binding site within a well-characterized, tissue-specific GATA1 enhancer
  • required for normal cerebellar development and that failure to establish proper cytoarchitecture results in dysfunction of the cerebellum and leads to abnormal behavior
  • play roles in spermatogenesis, lipid and lipoprotein regulation, and the development of the central nervous system
  • functions as a fatty acid sensor to modulate CD36 expression and foam cell formation
  • plays a pivotal role in fundamental biological processes across different cell types
  • ligand-regulated nuclear receptor suggesting that retinoids might have a much wider regulatory role via activation of orphan receptors such as NR2C2
  • modulates DNA repair specifically through the transcription-coupled (TC) nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway but not the global genomic NER pathway
  • modulates UV sensitivity by promoting the TC-NER DNA repair pathway through transcriptional regulation of ERCC6
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • physiological role of NR2C1/NR2C2 heterodimers in germ cell development
  • oxidative stress-FOXO3-NR2C2 pathway is a fundamentally important mechanism regulating stress resistance and cell survival
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with AR
  • MAPKBP1 interacted with not only NR2C2, but also with its upstream regulators, TNF-receptor associated factors 2 and 6 (TRAF2 and TRAF6)
  • NR2C2 transactivated SLC27A1 5prime promoter activity via direct binding to the NR2C2 responsive element located at the FATP1 5prime promoter region
  • directly regulates ERCC6 at the transcriptional level
  • existence of an autophagy-stimulatory 'switch' whereby TAB2 and TAB3 abandon inhibitory interactions with Beclin 1 to engage in a stimulatory liaison with NR2C2
  • PELI2 is required for NR2C2-dependent NFKB activation
  • TAB2 and TAB3 are dispensable for NR2C2 activation in B cells, indicating that TAB2 and TAB3 activate MAPKs via a pathway independent of NR2C2
  • RNF4 interacts with the NR2C2-TAB2-TAB3 complex, but not TAB1
  • interactions of UBASH3A with nondegradative polyubiquitin chains, NR2C2 and IKBKG, suggesting that UBASH3A regulates the NFKB1 signaling pathway by an ubiquitin-dependent mechanism
