| Primary Identifier | MGI:1352463 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 22260 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin DNA binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and nuclear retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of metabolic process; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within lipid metabolic process and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human NR1H2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutations cause altered lipid, cholesterol and glucose metabolism and may lead to elevated cartilage matrix catabolism and PGE2 production, lipid-laden uterus myocytes and Sertoli cells, impaired uterus contractility and parturition, and higher susceptibility to bacterial infection.
