Structured_descriptionAutomated_descriptionEnables calcitriol binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; negative regulation of bone trabecula formation; and positive regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion. Located in T-tubule; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of euchromatin and heterochromatin. Colocalizes with caveola. Used to study vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A. Biomarker of retinal degeneration and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); lipid storage disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human VDR (vitamin D receptor); PARTICIPATES IN altered p53 signaling pathway; tuberculosis pathway; INTERACTS WITH (+)-pilocarpine; 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 17beta-estradiol.Inferred_automaticallyAGR_import
