Description
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; nuclear glucocorticoid receptor binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including neurotransmitter secretion involved in regulation of skeletal muscle contraction; response to amphetamine; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromatin; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study Parkinson's disease and chronic kidney disease. Biomarker of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. Orthologous to human NR4A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds the NGFI-B response element (NBRE) 5'-AAAGGTCA-3' (PMID: 10331876). Binds 9-cis-retinoic acid outside of its ligand-binding (NR LBD) domain (By similarity). Participates in energy homeostasis by sequestrating the kinase STK11 in the nucleus, thereby attenuating cytoplasmic AMPK activation (By similarity). Regulates the inflammatory response in macrophages by regulating metabolic adaptations during inflammation, including repressing the transcription of genes involved in the citric acid cycle (TCA) (By similarity). Inhibits NF-kappa-B signaling by binding to low-affinity NF-kappa-B binding sites, such as at the IL2 promoter (By similarity). May act concomitantly with NR4A2 in regulating the expression of delayed-early genes during liver regeneration (PMID: 8473329). Plays a role in the vascular response to injury (By similarity).

In the cytosol, upon its detection of both bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and NBRE-containing mitochondrial DNA released by GSDMD pores during pyroptosis, it promotes non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation by stimulating association of NLRP3 and NEK7.
