GENE SUMMARY
This gene encodes a member of the steroid-thyroid hormone-retinoid receptor superfamily. Expression is induced by phytohemagglutinin in human lymphocytes and by serum stimulation of arrested fibroblasts. The encoded protein acts as a nuclear transcription factor. Translocation of the protein from the nucleus to mitochondria induces apoptosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

OBSERVATIONS

Complication Evidence PMID
Insulin resistance and inflammation1. The basal expression levels of NR4A1, TNF-? and IL-6 were higher in the T2D patients when compared with the controls.25289075
