Members of this family act as transcription factors. This protein is involved in lens formation during eye development. Mutations of this gene have been associated with anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis and congenital cataracts. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Transcriptional regulator which is important for the differentiation and maintenance of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons during development. In addition to its importance during development, it also has roles in the long-term survival and maintenance of the mdDA neurons. Activates NR4A2/NURR1- mediated transcription of genes such as SLC6A3, SLC18A2, TH and DRD2 which are essential for development of mdDA neurons. Acts by decreasing the interaction of NR4A2/NURR1 with the corepressor NCOR2/SMRT which acts through histone deacetylases (HDACs) to keep promoters of NR4A2/NURR1 target genes in a repressed deacetylated state. Essential for the normal lens development and differentiation. Plays a critical role in the maintenance of mitotic activity of lens epithelial cells, fiber cell differentiation and in the control of the temporal and spatial activation of fiber cell-specific crystallins. Positively regulates FOXE3 expression and negatively regulates PROX1 in the anterior lens epithelium, preventing activation of CDKN1B/P27Kip1 and CDKN1C/P57Kip2 and thus maintains lens epithelial cells in cell cycle (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Homeobox| |OAR| |cellular response to glial cell derived neurotrophic factor| |response to glial cell derived neurotrophic factor| |positive regulation of cell proliferation in midbrain| |regulation of cell proliferation in midbrain| |response to methamphetamine hydrochloride| |response to salt| |lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye| |response to immobilization stress| |lens fiber cell differentiation| |dopaminergic neuron differentiation| |response to morphine| |response to isoquinoline alkaloid| |negative regulation of gliogenesis| |positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation| |positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |response to cocaine| |RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding| |lens development in camera-type eye| |response to anesthetic| |midbrain development| |regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation| |positive regulation of neuron death| |camera-type eye morphogenesis| |response to alkaloid| |regulation of gliogenesis| |eye morphogenesis| |response to ammonium ion| |locomotory behavior| |regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |sensory organ morphogenesis| |aging| |negative regulation of neurogenesis| |response to xenobiotic stimulus| |regulation of neuron death| |negative regulation of nervous system development| |camera-type eye development| |negative regulation of cell development| |eye development| |visual system development| |sensory system development| |neuronal cell body| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |cellular response to growth factor stimulus| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |response to growth factor| |positive regulation of nervous system development| |sensory organ development| |behavior| |positive regulation of apoptotic process| |positive regulation of programmed cell death| |epithelial cell differentiation| |positive regulation of cell death| |negative regulation of cell differentiation| |brain development| |head development| |neuron development| |regulation of neurogenesis| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |response to organic cyclic compound| |regulation of nervous system development| |regulation of cell development| |negative regulation of developmental process| |animal organ morphogenesis| |central nervous system development| |response to organonitrogen compound| |neuron differentiation| |response to drug| |response to nitrogen compound| |epithelium development| |negative regulation of multicellular organismal process| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |positive regulation of developmental process| |response to endogenous stimulus| |generation of neurons| |regulation of apoptotic process| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |regulation of programmed cell death| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |neurogenesis| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |cell development| |regulation of cell death| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |tissue development| |regulation of cell differentiation| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp70|INK128 0.2μM R02 exp70]]|-1.75| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
