nhr-96 encodes a member of the superfamily of nuclear receptors, which is one of the most abundant class of transcriptional regulators; nuclear receptors have a well conserved DNA binding domain and a less conserved C-terminal ligand binding domain.
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
