Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator involved in sex determination. The encoded protein binds DNA as a monomer. Defects in this gene are a cause of XY sex reversal with or without adrenal failure as well as adrenocortical insufficiency without ovarian defect. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function:disease:Defects in NR5A1 are a cause of adrenocortical insufficiency without ovarian defect [MIM:184757]. The disease is characterized by severe 'slackness,' muscular hypotonia. There is decreased sodium, increased potassium and elevated ACTH.,disease:Defects in NR5A1 are a cause of XY sex reversal with or without adrenal failure [MIM:184757]. This disease is characterized by normal female external genitalia and retention of the uterus.,function:Transcriptional activator. Seems to be essential for sexual differentiation and formation of the primary steroidogenic tissues. Binds to the Ad4 site found in the promoter region of steroidogenic P-450 genes such as CYP11A, CYP11B and CYP21B. Also regulates the Muellerian inhibiting substance (AMH) gene as well as the AHCH and STAR genes. 5'-YCAAGGYC-3' and 5'-RRAGGTCA-3' are the consensus sequences for the recognition by NR5A1/FTZF1. The SFPQ-NO
Subcellular Location:Nucleus .
Expression:High expressed in the adrenal cortex, the ovary, the testis, and the spleen (PubMed:9177385).
