retinoid X receptor alpha

Gene Summary

Enables nuclear retinoic acid receptor binding activity; nuclear thyroid hormone receptor binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Contributes to double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; response to vitamin A; and response to vitamin D. Located in axon. Biomarker of alcoholic cardiomyopathy and prostate carcinoma in situ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RXRA (retinoid X receptor alpha).
