GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

 RARA (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

 NR1B1, RAR

Description

 Retinoic acid receptor, alpha (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

 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]
