Retinoic acid receptor beta (RAR-beta), also known as NR1B2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group B, member 2) is a nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the RARB gene.[5][6]

Function

This gene encodes retinoic acid receptor beta, a member of the thyroid-steroid hormone receptor superfamily of nuclear transcriptional regulators. This receptor localizes to the cytoplasm and to subnuclear compartments. It binds retinoic acid, the biologically active form of

cervical carcinoma preneoplastic lesions.[7] The gene expresses at least two transcript variants; one additional transcript has been described, but its full length nature has not been determined.[5]

Epigenetics

The Retinoic acid receptor beta aberrant promoter DNA hypermethylation has been observed associated with cancer onset/progression. Indeed, this improper epigenetic phenomenon has been observed in women affected by Vulvar Squamous cell carcinoma arose from vulver lichen sclerosus.[8] Methylation of the Retinoic acid receptor beta promoter may be a marker of cancer risk in patients affected by this disease.[8]

Interactions

Retinoic acid receptor beta has been shown to

NR4A2.[9]
