AHP1103 detects the orphan receptor TR3, a 64kD NR4 Nerve Growth Factor-Like receptor, which belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. TR3 acts as a nuclear transcription factor, and can bind to DNA as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with retinoid X receptors. TR3 is unique among nuclear receptors in that it is also an immediate-early gene induced by a diversity of extracellular stimuli, resulting in survival, differentiation or apoptosis.
In cancer TR3 functions as an oncogenic survival factor, but can be a potent inducer of apoptosis when certain death stimuli induce its migration from the nucleus to mitochondria.
