Nuclear receptor coactivator 6 (NCOA6)

Nuclear receptor coactivator that directly binds nuclear receptors and stimulates the transcriptional activities in a hormone-dependent fashion. Coactivates expression in an agonist- and AF2-dependent method.

Involved from the coactivation of different nuclear receptors, like for steroids (GR and ERs), retinoids (RARs and RXRs), thyroid gland (TRs), vitamin D3 (VDR) and prostanoids (PPARs). Probably functions as a general coactivator, as opposed to just a nuclear receptor coactivator.
