Anti-NUR77/NR4A1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

NR4A1 (NUCLEAR RECEPTOR SUBFAMILY 4, GROUP A, MEMBER 1), also called NAK1, GFRP1, TR3, NUR77 or NGFIB, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR4A1 gene, which is also a member of the Nur nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors. The NR4A1 gene is mapped on 12q13.13. NR4A1 is involved in cell cycle mediation, inflammation and apoptosis. It plays a key role in mediating inflammatory responses in macrophages. In addition, subcellular localization of the NR4A1 protein appears to play a key role in the survival and death of cells. Nr4a1 was overexpressed in Wnt1 -transformed mouse mammary cells. Nr4a1 was also induced by lithium, a Wnt1 mimic, and the Nr4a1 promoter was activated by lithium and beta-catenin, a Wnt1 downstream effector. In contrast, human NR4A1 was not upregulated by beta-catenin, indicating that this gene is regulated differently in human and mouse cells. Adenoviral expression of Nr4a1 induced genes involved in gluconeogenesis, stimulated glucose production both in vitro and in vivo, and raised blood glucose levels.

Orphan nuclear receptor. May act concomitantly with NURR1 in regulating the expression of delayed-early genes during liver regeneration. Binds the NGFI-B response element (NBRE) 5'- AAAAGGTCA-3' (By similarity) . May inhibit NF-kappa-B transactivation of IL2. Participates in energy homeostasis by sequestrating the kinase STK11 in the nucleus, thereby attenuating cytoplasmic AMPK activation. .
