ID:RARG_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Retinoic acid receptor gamma; Short=RAR-gamma; AltName: Full=Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group B member 3; FUNCTION: 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. In the absence of ligand, acts mainly as an activator of gene expression due to weak binding to corepressors. Required for limb bud development. In concert with RARA or RARB, required for skeletal growth, matrix homeostasis and growth plate function (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer with a RXR molecule (By similarity). Binds DNA preferentially as a RAR/RXR heterodimer (By similarity). Forms a complex with PUS1 and the SRA1 RNA in the nucleus (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. DOMAIN: Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAA40548.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; WEB RESOURCE: Name=Wikipedia; Note=Retinoic acid receptor entry; URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinoic_acid_receptor";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
