Cancer tissues were in general either negative or showed moderate nuclear and cytoplasmic staining. Strongest staining was found in squamous cell carcinoma.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
RXRG (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
NR2B3
Description
Retinoid X receptor, gamma (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of nuclear receptors which are involved in mediating the antiproliferative effects of retinoic acid (RA). This receptor forms dimers with the retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D receptors, increasing both DNA binding and transcriptional function on their respective response elements. This gene is expressed at significantly lower levels in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
