- Rev-ErbA
The Rev-ErbA proteins are members of the
nuclear receptor family ofintracellular transcription factor s. There are two forms of the receptor, alpha and beta, each encoded by a separate gene (gene|NR1D1 and gene|NR1D2 respectively).cite journal | author = Dumas B, Harding HP, Choi HS, Lehmann KA, Chung M, Lazar MA, Moore DD | title = A new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily closely related to Rev-Erb | journal = Mol.
