Rabbit Anti-NR5A2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
NR5A2 is a pre-adipocyte-specific nuclear receptor that regulates expression of aromatase in adipose tissue. NR5A2 belongs to the fushi tarazu factor-1 subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors. NR5A2 transcripts are abundant in the human ovary and testis and are predominantly expressed in tissues of endodermal origin. NR5A2 is a positive transcription factor for ABCG5 and ABCG8 and regulates genes involved in sterol and bile acid secretion from liver and intestine. It induces cell proliferation through the concomitant induction of cyclin D1 and E1, an effect that is potentiated by its interaction with beta-catenin.
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.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Abundantly expressed in pancreas, less in liver, very low levels in heart and lung. Expressed in hepG2. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 seem to be present in fetal and adult liver and hepG2 cells.
Similarity:
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR5 subfamily.
Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
