Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding activity; and nuclear retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in growth plate cartilage chondrocyte growth and limb development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage development; embryonic morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Orthologous to human RARG (retinoic acid receptor gamma).
