sex-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in primary sex determination and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Expressed in gonad; intestine; oocyte; and ventral uterine precursor. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and lung carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human NR1D1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1) and NR1D2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 2).
