The nerve growth factor IB (NGFIB) also known as Nur77 or NR4A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''NR4A1'' gene.〔〔 Nerve growth factor IB is a member of the ''Nur'' nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors. NGFIB is involved in cell cycle mediation, inflammation and apoptosis.〔 The NGFIB protein plays a key role in mediating inflammatory responses in macrophages. In addition, subcellular localization of the NGFIB protein appears to play a key role in the survival and death of cells. Expression is induced by phytohemagglutinin in human lymphocytes and by serum stimulation of arrested fibroblasts. Translocation of the protein from the nucleus to mitochondria induces apoptosis. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3164 )〕 ==Structure== The ''NR4A1'' gene contains seven exons. An amino terminal transactivation domain is encoded in exon 2, a DNA-binding domain in exons 3 and 4, and dimerisation and ligand-binding domains is exons 5 to 7.〔 The protein has an atypical ligand-binding domain that is unlike the classical ligand-binding domain in most nuclear receptors. The classical domain contains a ligand-receiving pocket and co-activator site, both of which are lacking in the NR4A family. Where most nuclear receptors have a hydrophobic surface that results in a cleft, NGFI-B has a hydrophilic surface.〔 Cofactors interact with NGFI-B at a hydrophobic region between helices 11 and 12 to modulate transcription.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nerve growth factor IB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
