Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin DNA binding activity. Contributes to nuclear receptor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; negative regulation of secretion; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within cellular lipid metabolic process and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Used to study ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral infarction; cerebrovascular disease; myocardial infarction; and obesity. Orthologous to human NR1H3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
