Nr5a2 - nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; cholesterol homeostasis; and pancreas morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; early conceptus; and gonad. Orthologous to human NR5A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
