Summary
This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the antiproliferative effects of retinoic acid (RA). This receptor forms dimers with the retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene is expressed at significantly lower levels in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

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.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes an additional exon in its 5' UTR, and uses a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (c, also known as RXRgamma2) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform a. Both variants 3 and 4 encode isoform c.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) uses an alternate internal promoter, and it thus differs in the 5' UTR and uses a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (c, also known as RXRgamma2) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform a. Both variants 3 and 4 encode isoform c.
