OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a nuclear hormone receptor characterized by a highly conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable hinge region, and a carboxy-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD) that is typical for all members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. This protein also belongs to a large family of ligand-inducible transcription factors that regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences within promoters of target genes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads NR2C1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against NR2C1 could matter depends on whether native NR2C1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
NR2C1 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label NR2C1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
