Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for NR2E3(NM_016346.2) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This protein 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. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- In a mouse model, Nr2e3 may function by regulating genes involved in cone cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene lead to retinal dysplasia and degeneration by disrupting normal photoreceptor cell topography as well as cell-cell interactions.
- In 16 ESCS patients with the most common NR2E3 mutation, R311Q, we documented an abnormal ratio of S to L/M cone function and progressive retinal degeneration. We studied the postmortem retina of an ESCS patient homozygous for NR2E3 R311Q
- We found that enhanced S-cone syndrome, Goldmann-Favre syndrome and clumped pigmentary retinal degeneration can all have the same genetic basis.
- involved in regulating the expression of rod photoreceptor-specific genes at the transcriptional level
- A role for NR2E3 in the rod developmental pathway is suggested.
- Fifteen different mutations were identified, including six not previously reported, in patients with Enhanced S Cone Syndrome
- These experiments show that in mature vertebrate retina Nr2e3 is expressed exclusively in rods and that Nr2e3 functions as a repressor of cone-specific genes in rod photoreceptor cells.
- Nr2e3 is a dual-function transcriptional regulator that acts in concert with Crx to promote and maintain the function of rod photoreceptors.
- Our study suggests that the expression of these 2 mutants of NR2E3, acting as a dimer, is correlated with a mild form of ESCS (enhanced S-cone syndrome)
- We describe the localization and identification of the photoreceptor cell-specific nuclear receptor gene NR2E3 as a novel disease locus and gene for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.
- Gly56Arg mutation in NR2E3 accounts for approximately 1%-2% of adRP, making it one of the more common single mutations in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.
- NR2E3 gene mutational analyses were carried out in 103 unrelated subjects with different retinal diseases. A total of 14 different sequence variants were identified, including 3 mutations, 6 rare sequence variants and five polymorphisms
- The phenotype in enhanced S-cone syndrome is variable, both in fundus appearance and in the severity of the electrophysiological abnormalities.
- Two novel NR2E3 mutations are described that are associated with Goldmann-Favre syndrome and enhanced S-cone syndrome.
- Patients with NR2E3 mutations may manifest variable phenotypes. Moreover, patients who are homozygous for the same NR2E3 mutation have variable expression of retinal disease, suggesting the involvement of modifier genes.
