Nr0b1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of DNA-templated transcription; response to benzoic acid; and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centriolar satellite; nuclear speck; and ribosome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 2 and X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita. Orthologous to human NR0B1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 0 group B member 1).
