retinoid X receptor beta [Source:HGNC Symbol;Acc:HGNC:10478]
Entrez Summary
#!usr/local/bin/perl
?>
This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family
of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the effects of retinoic
acid (RA). The encoded protein forms homodimers with the retinoic acid,
thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and
transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene
lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region on
chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple
isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
Vaquerizas 2009 TF classification
"a" Has direct evidence of TF function;
"b" Has evidence for an orthologous TF;
"c" contains likely DBDs, but has no functional evidence;
"x" is an unlikely TF such as predicted gene, genes with likely non-specific DBDs or that have function outside transcription;
"other" category contains proteins without clear DBDs they curated from external sources.

Initial Assessment 1a1 Protein has a high confidence PWM (HT-SELEX, PBM or B1H model) or there is a crystal structure that supports sequence specific DNA binding;
1a2 There is high confidence data for a close ortholog (as defined in CisBP);
2a1 There is lower confidence direct evidence, such as a Jaspar, Hocomoco or Transfac model;
2a2 There is lower confidence evidence for an close ortholog;
3a There is decent circumstantial evidence for its role as a TF or not;
4a Two or more datasets predict it as a TF;
5a One of the source datasets predicts is as a TF
