Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 3 [Source:HGNC Symbol;Acc:HGNC:7974]
Entrez Summary
#!usr/local/bin/perl
?>
This protein is part of a large family of nuclear receptor
transcription factors involved in signaling pathways. Nuclear receptors have
been shown to regulate pathways involved in embryonic development, as well as
in maintenance of proper cell function in adults. Members of this family are
characterized by discrete domains that function in DNA and ligand binding.
This gene encodes a retinal nuclear receptor that is a ligand-dependent
transcription factor. Defects in this gene are a cause of enhanced S cone
syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different
isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
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
