Gene Name RARA
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity
Specific Function This is a receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid has profound effects on vertebrate development, is a morphogen and is a powerful teratogen. This receptor controls cell function by directly regulating gene expression. Regulates expression of target genes in a ligand-dependent manner by recruiting chromatin complexes containing MLL5. Mediates retinoic acid-induced granulopoiesis
