Nuclear receptor subfamily 0 group B member 1 (NR0B1)

Orphan nuclear receptor. Component of a cascade required for the evolution of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-gonadal axis.

Acts as a coregulatory protein which inhibits the transcriptional activity of other nuclear receptors through heterodimeric interactions. May also have a role in the development of the embryo and in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency (By similarity).
