NR2C2 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 Group C Member 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Nuclear Receptor transcription pathway and Regulation of Androgen receptor activity. NR2C2 encodes a protein that belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. Members of this family act as ligand-activated transcription factors and function in many biological processes such as development, cellular differentiation and homeostasis. The activated receptor/ligand complex is translocated to the nucleus where it binds to hormone response elements of target genes. The protein encoded by NR2C2 plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage induced by ionizing radiation.
