Description
Exhibits nuclear receptor activity. Involved in hindbrain morphogenesis; liver development; and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to localize to RNA polymerase II transcription factor complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute promyelocytic leukemia; lung cancer (multiple); and syndromic microphthalmia. Is expressed in several structures, including endoderm; gonad; mesoderm; nervous system; and neural keel. Orthologous to several human genes including RARA (retinoic acid receptor alpha).
