Function

Nuclear receptor that acts as a key metabolic sensor by regulating the expression of genes involved in bile acid synthesis, cholesterol homeostasis and triglyceride synthesis. Together with the oxysterol receptors NR1H3/LXR-alpha and NR1H2/LXR-beta, acts as an essential transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism. Plays an anti-inflammatory role during the hepatic acute phase response by acting as a corepressor: inhibits the hepatic acute phase response by preventing dissociation of the N-Cor corepressor complex (PubMed:20159957). May be responsible for the liver-specific activity of enhancer II, probably in combination with other hepatocyte transcription factors. Key regulator of cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7A) expression in liver. May also contribute to the regulation of pancreas-specific genes and play important roles in embryonic development. Activates the transcription of CYP2C38 (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Plays a crucial role for hepatitis B virus gene transcription and DNA replication. Mechanistically, synergistically cooperates with HNF1A to up-regulate the activity of one of the critical cis-elements in the hepatitis B virus genome enhancer II (ENII).

Activity summary

NR5A2 also known as Liver Receptor Homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor protein with a molecular weight of approximately 55 kDa. It regulates gene expression by binding to DNA response elements as a monomer. NR5A2 is expressed in the liver pancreas ovary and intestine. This receptor plays a central role in the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in important metabolic processes such as cholesterol homeostasis bile acid synthesis and steroidogenesis.

Biological function summary

NR5A2 influences several physiological functions by modulating the expression of key genes. It is a part of the nuclear receptor superfamily and acts as a transcriptional regulator. This receptor directly impacts the regulation of genes that control metabolism and energy balance. Its role in lipid metabolism has been observed as NR5A2 regulates genes encoding enzymes for cholesterol and bile acid biosynthesis linking it to energy homeostasis.

Pathways

The protein modulates essential biological processes involved in energy and lipid metabolism linking it to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways. It interacts with signaling proteins such as β-catenin where it is involved in the transcriptional regulation of genes necessary for normal cellular function. NR5A2 through these pathways maintains homeostasis and influences cellular responses to metabolic changes highlighting its interaction within complex signaling networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

NR5A2 has significant associations with metabolic diseases and cancers like pancreatic cancer. Mutations or dysregulations in NR5A2 expression levels can affect cholesterol metabolism potentially contributing to conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This receptor's expression levels influence the expression of genes that are pivotal in cancer development and its regulatory role may be linked to c-Myc a protein involved in cell growth and proliferation within these diseases.
