Nr0b2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables nuclear retinoid X receptor binding activity; nuclear thyroid hormone receptor binding activity; and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ regeneration; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of alcoholic hepatitis; diabetes mellitus; and intrahepatic cholestasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human NR0B2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 0 group B member 2).
