NCOA4

Description

The NCOA4 (nuclear receptor coactivator 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.

Nuclear receptor coactivator 4, also known as Androgen Receptor Activator (ARA70), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCOA4 gene. It plays an important role in ferritinophagy, acting as a cargo receptor, binding to the ferritin heavy chain and latching on to ATG8 on the surface of the autophagosome.

== Interactions == NCOA4 has been shown to interact with:

Androgen receptor, and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma Ferritin ATG8

NCOA4 enhances the androgen receptor transcriptional activity in prostate cancer cells and acts as a ligand-independent coactivator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma.

NCOA4 is also known as ARA70, ELE1, PTC3, RFG.
