NHR-23 LBD

Nuclear hormone receptor family member nhr-23. The nhr-23 gene encodes a nuclear hormone receptor homolog that is required in all larval molts. NHR-23 is highly similar to Drosophila DHR3, an ecdysone-inducible gene product involved in metamorphosis. The NHR-23 protein is nuclear, and is present in all blastomeres during early embryogenesis; during later stages of morphogenesis, NHR-23 is restricted to epidermal cells. nhr-23 expression cycles between stages of larval development; during each intermolt period, levels of nhr-23 transcripts are 2-5 times greater than levels at each molt. NHR-23 binds the DRS-type hormone response sequence in vitro.
