NR1D2_HUMAN, Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 2, Orphan nuclear hormone receptor BD73, Rev-erb alpha-related receptor, Rev-erb-beta, AltName: Full=V-erbA-related protein 1-related, EAR-1R.
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]
