Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; hormone-mediated signaling pathway; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including Cpaaaa; Cpaaap; Cpaapa; Cpaapp; and germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; carcinoma (multiple); congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 6; and cystic fibrosis. Is an ortholog of human PPARA (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha) and THRA (thyroid hormone receptor alpha).
