This gene encodes a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family, specifically the NR1 subfamily of receptors. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may play a role in circadian rhythms and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009],

Function:
Function:Binds to the sequences 5'-AATGTAGGTCA-3' and 5'-ATAACTAGGTCA-3'. Acts as a potent competitive repressor of ROR alpha function.,similarity:Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family.,similarity:Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.,subunit:Interacts with NCOA5 coactivator, leading to a strong increase of transcription of target genes.,
