Activity summary

NUR77 also known as NR4A1 is an orphan nuclear receptor and transcription factor with a molecular mass of around 65 kDa. This protein plays an important role in mediating gene expression by binding DNA at specific response elements. It is expressed in various tissues including the thymus spleen and central nervous system. NUR77 achieves its mechanical function by regulating gene transcription involved in cell proliferation apoptosis and metabolism.

Biological function summary

The functions of NUR77 impact multiple cellular processes that are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. As part of its biological roles NUR77 can form complexes with other nuclear receptors and influence gene expression. It is particularly significant in T-cell receptor signaling where it influences the balance between cell survival and cell death. This modulation helps in the regulation of immune functions and cellular development.

Pathways

NUR77 integrates into the MAPK signaling and apoptosis pathways. It interacts with proteins such as Bcl-2 and p53 facilitating cellular responses to stress and developmental cues. In the MAPK pathway NUR77 can modulate transcriptional activities affecting cell proliferation and differentiation while in apoptotic pathways it contributes to the regulation of programmed cell death making it a critical modulator in these contexts.

Associated diseases and disorders

NUR77 has been associated with cancer and atherosclerosis. Its role in apoptosis makes it a point of interest in cancer research where altered NUR77 expression can influence tumor growth and resistance to therapy. In the context of atherosclerosis aberrant activity of NUR77 affects lipid metabolism and inflammation. Through its link to pathways involving Bcl-2 and p53 NUR77 remains a significant target in both therapeutic research and disease management.
