Name | NR5A1 |

Synonyms | AD4BP, FTZF1, SF1 |
Function | Transcriptional activator. Essential for sexual differentiation and formation of the primary steroidogenic tissues (PubMed:27378692). Binds to the Ad4 site found in the promoter region of steroidogenic P450 genes such as CYP11A, CYP11B and CYP21B. Also regulates the AMH/Muellerian inhibiting substance gene as well as the AHCH and STAR genes. 5'-YCAAGGYC-3' and 5'-RRAGGTCA-3' are the consensus sequences for the recognition by NR5A1 (PubMed:27378692). The SFPQ-NONO-NR5A1 complex binds to the CYP17 promoter and regulates basal and cAMP-dependent transcriptional activity. Binds phosphatidylcholine (By similarity). Binds phospholipids with a phosphatidylinositol (PI) headgroup, in particular PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3. Activated by the phosphorylation of NR5A1 by HIPK3 leading to increased steroidogenic gene expression upon cAMP signaling pathway stimulation. |

Tissue Location | High expressed in the adrenal cortex, the ovary, the testis, and the spleen (PubMed:9177385) |

Background
NR5A1 is a transcriptional activator involved in sex determination. The encoded protein binds DNA as a monomer. Defects in this protein are a cause of XY sex reversal with or without adrenal failure as well as adrenocortical insufficiency without ovarian defect.
