About NR1H2

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:50,376,457-50,383,388 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 304 orthologues and 18 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 38.7), spleen (RPKM 21.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The liver X receptors, LXRA (NR1H3; MIM 602423) and LXRB, form a subfamily of the Nuclear Receptor Superfamily and are key regulators of macrophage function, controlling transcriptional programs involved in lipid homeostasis and inflammation. The inducible LXRA is highly expressed in liver, adrenal gland, intestine, adipose tissue, macrophages, lung, and kidney, whereas LXRB is ubiquitously expressed. Ligand-activated LXRs form obligate heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs; see MIM 180245) and regulate expression of target genes containing LXR response elements (summary by Korf et al., 2009 [PubMed 19436111]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2010]
