Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION 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 RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence or presence of hormone ligand, acts mainly as an activator of gene expression due to weak binding to corepressors (PubMed:12554770). The RXRA/RARB heterodimer can act as a repressor on the DR1 element and as an activator on the DR5 element (PubMed:29021580). In concert with RARG, 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). Heterodimerizes (via NR LBD) with RXRA (PubMed:29021580). Interacts weakly with NCOR2 (PubMed:12554770).INTERACTION Expressed in aortic endothelial cells (at protein level).DOMAIN Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain.DOMAIN The DNA-binding nuclear receptor domain and the NR LBD domain are required for binding of the RARB/RXRA heterodimer to both DR1 and DR5 DNA elements.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.
