Rabbit Anti-PNR (Photoreceptor Cell Specific Nuclear Receptor, NR2E3, PNR, ESCS, RNR, Rd7, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2,Group E,Member 3, Protein tailless homolog, Nuclear receptor TLX)
PNR is exclusively expressed in the retina. The main target genes of PNR are rhodopsin and several opsins which are essential for sight. PNR is part of a large family of nuclear receptor transcription factors involved in signaling pathways. Nuclear receptors have been shown to regulate pathways involved in embryonic development, as well as in maintenance of proper cell function in adults. Members of this family are characterized by discrete domains that function in DNA and ligand binding. This gene encodes a retinal nuclear receptor that is a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Defects in this gene are a cause of enhanced S cone syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
