Gene: RXRG
Alternate names for this Gene: NR2B3|RXRC
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1q23.3
Description of this Gene: retinoid X receptor gamma
Type of Gene: protein-coding
