SLIRP


Description

The SLIRP (SRA stem-loop interacting RNA binding protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.

SLIRP is an RNA-binding protein that functions as a corepressor for nuclear receptors. It achieves this by binding to the SRA RNA, suppressing its coactivation of nuclear receptors. SLIRP specifically interacts with the STR7 loop of the SRA RNA. Additionally, it has the capability to inhibit transactivation mediated by glucocorticoid (GR), androgen (AR), thyroid (TR), and vitamin D receptors (VDR).

SLIRP is also known as C14orf156, DC50, PD04872.
