Ligand-activated transcription factor. Activated by high concentrations of 9-cis-retinoic acid and all-trans-retinoic acid, but not by dexamethasone, cortisol or progesterone (in vitro). Regulation of the apolipoprotein A-I gene transcription. Binds to DNA site A. May be required to establish ovary identity during early gonad development (PubMed:29478779). Interacts with SQSTM1 (By similarity). Binds DNA as a dimer; homodimer or heterodimer with NR2F6. Interacts with NCOA1, NCOA2, NCOA3 and PPARGC1A. Interacts with ZFPM2 (By similarity). Ubiquitous. Expressed in the stromal cells of developing fetal ovaries (PubMed:29478779). The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
