Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds to a response element containing the sequence 5'-TCAAGGTCA-3'. May be involved in the regulation of gene expression in germ cell development during gametogenesis (By similarity).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR6 subfamily.
Tissue Specificity
Shows highest expression in the germ cells of the adult testis.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
