uniprot summary :
Function: Binds to the sequence element 5'-AACGACCGACCTTGAG-3' of the enhancer II of hepatitis B virus genes, a critical cis-element of their expression and regulation. May be responsible for the liver-specific activity of enhancer II, probably in combination with other hepatocyte transcription factors. Key regulator of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A) expression in liver. May also contribute to the regulation of pancreas-specific genes and play important roles in embryonic development. Subunit structure: Binds DNA as a monomer . By similarity. Interacts with GRIP1, NCOA2 and NR0B2. Subcellular location: Nucleus . Probable. Tissue specificity: Abundantly expressed in pancreas, less in liver, very low levels in heart and lung. Expressed in the Hep-G2 cell line. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 seem to be present in fetal and adult liver and Hep-G2 cells. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR5 subfamily.Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
