RXRG Gene Summary [Human]

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]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human RXRG often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • DNA-binding domain of nuclear receptors is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers
  • protein binding activity, bridging
  • alpha helix
  • transcription activation domain
  • protein binding
  • sequence-specific DNA binding
  • Nuclear/hormone receptor activator site AF-1
  • nuclear receptor ligand binding domain
  • RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
  • AF-1 domain
  • ligand-binding domain
  • double-stranded DNA binding
  • ligand-dependent nuclear receptor
  • Ligand-binding domain of nuclear hormone receptor
