Immunogen:
The immunogen is a synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human NR2C1
Alternative Names:
TR2
The nuclear orphan receptors NR2C1 represses transcription and binds DNA as a homodimer. NR2C1 binds the IR7 element in the promoter of its own gene in an autoregulatory negative feedback mechanism. NR2C1 may function as a negative modulator to suppress androgen receptor function in prostate cancer. NR2C1 may exert an important repressor in regulating ER activity in mammary glands. The nuclear orphan receptors TR2 (NR2C1) and TR4 form a heterodimer that binds to the epsilon and gamma globin promoter DR1 sites This gene encodes a nuclear hormone receptor characterized by a highly conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable hinge region, and a carboxy-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD) that is typical for all members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. This protein also belongs to a large family of ligand-inducible transcription factors that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences within promoters of target genes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
