General description

Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2 (UniProt: P43354; also known as Immediate-early response protein NOT, Orphan nuclear receptor NURR1, Transcriptionally-inducible nuclear receptor) and is encoded by the NR4A2 (also known as NOT, NURR1, TINUR) gene (Gene ID: 4929) in human. Nurr-1 belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family that acts as a transcriptional regulator and is considered to be important for the differentiation and maintenance of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons during development. It is also crucial for expression of a set of genes such as SLC6A3, SLC18A2, TH and DRD2 which are essential for development of mdDA neurons. It is expressed in a number of T cell, B cell and fibroblast cell lines, but its expression is higher in brain tissue. Two isoforms of Nurr-1 have been reported that are produced by alternative splicing. The ligand-binding domain (LBD) of Nurr-1 contains no cavity as a result of the tight packing of side chains from several bulky hydrophobic residues in the region normally occupied by ligands. It also lacks a classical binding site for co-activators. However, it has hydrophobic region on the surface of LBD, which is critical for its activity. (Ref.: Volakakis N et al (2006). J. Mol. Endocrinol 37(2); 317-326; Wang G et al. (2003). Nature 423(6939):555-560).

Specificity

Nuclear receptor related 1 protein (Nurr1) is an important transcription factor required for differentiation and maintenance of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Since decrease in Nurr1 function either due to diminished expression or rare mutation is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD)
