NCOR1 nuclear receptor corepressor 1

Gene ID: 9611, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: N-CoR; TRAC1; N-CoR1; hN-CoR; PPP1R109

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that mediates ligand-independent transcription repression of thyroid-hormone and retinoic-acid receptors by promoting chromatin condensation and preventing access of the transcription machinery. It is part of a complex which also includes histone deacetylases and transcriptional regulators similar to the yeast protein Sin3p. This gene is located between the Charcot-Marie-Tooth and Smith-Magenis syndrome critical regions on chromosome 17. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 17 and 20.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
