Summary
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including Sertoli cell fate commitment; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and germ cell development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; negative regulation of cartilage development; and regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; neuronal cell body; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute promyelocytic leukemia. Orthologous to human RARA (retinoic acid receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
