This gene encodes an androgen receptor coactivator. The encoded protein interacts with the androgen receptor in a ligand-dependent manner to enhance its transcriptional activity. Chromosomal translocations between this gene and the ret tyrosine kinase gene, also located on chromosome 10, have been associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Pseudogenes are present on chromosomes 4, 5, 10, and 14. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

Interacts with the androgen receptor and the retinoid X receptor (RXR) in a ligand-dependent manner.
组织特异性
Widely expressed. Also detected in adipose tissues and in different cell lines. Isoform Beta is only expressed in testis.
疾病
Defects in NCOA4 are a cause of thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) [MIM:188550]. TPC is a common tumor of the thyroid that typically arises as an irregular, solid or cystic mass from otherwise normal thyroid tissue. Papillary carcinomas are malignant neoplasm characterized by the formation of numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of fibrous stroma that is covered with a surface layer of neoplastic epithelial cells. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NCOA4 is found in thyroid papillary carcinomas. Inversion inv(10)(q11.2;q11.2) generates the RET/NCOA4 (PTC3) oncogene that has been found in sporadic and radiation-associated post-Chernobyl thyroid papillary carcinomas.
