Retinoic acid receptor RXR-gamma, Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group B member 3, Retinoid X receptor gamma, RXRG, NR2B3
Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RAR/RXR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5-AGGTCA-3 sites known as DR1-DR5. The high affinity ligand for RXRs is 9-cis retinoic acid (By similarity).
