Gene: RARA (retinoic acid receptor, alpha) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

RARA

Name:

retinoic acid receptor, alpha

Description:

This gene represents a nuclear retinoic acid receptor. The encoded protein, retinoic acid receptor alpha, regulates transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. This gene has been implicated in regulation of development, differentiation, apoptosis, granulopoeisis, and transcription of clock genes. Translocations between this locus and several other loci have been associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
