About Nr5a1

Summary

Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of female gonad development and positive regulation of male gonad development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adrenal gland development; gonad development; and maintenance of protein location in nucleus. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Used to study hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XX sex reversal 4; 46,XY sex reversal 3; Zellweger syndrome; primary ovarian insufficiency 7; and spermatogenic failure 8. Orthologous to human NR5A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
