Rarg - retinoic acid receptor, gamma

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in growth plate cartilage chondrocyte growth and limb development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Orthologous to human RARG (retinoic acid receptor gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
