Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Nuclear hormone receptor; Nuclear hormone receptor-like domain superfamily; Ligand-binding domain of nuclear hormone receptor; and Nuclear hormone receptor, ligand-binding domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
nhr-23. In C. elegans,
nhr-23 is involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and spermatogenesis.
