Dosage-Sensitive Sex Reversal Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita Critical Region on the X Chromosome, Gene 1 (DAX1) (NR0B1) and Small Heterodimer Partner (SHP) (NR0B2) Form Homodimers Individually, as Well as DAX1-SHP Heterodimers

Abstract excerpt

Dosage-sensitive sex reversal adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome, gene 1 (DAX1) (NR0B1), and small heterodimer partner (SHP) (NR0B2) are atypical nuclear receptor superfamily members that function primarily as corepressors through heterodimeric interactions with other nuclear receptors. Mutations in DAX1 cause adrenal hypoplasia congenita, and mutations in SHP lead to mild obesity...
