| Subcellular location | Nucleus |
| Developmental Stage | It is synthesized during oogenesis and persists in the cleaving embryo at approximately constant levels until it is degraded just before gastrulation. |
| Similarity | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. |
| Tissue Specificity | N/A |
| Post translational modification | N/A |
| Function | This is a receptor for retinoic acid. This metabolite has profound effects on vertebrate development. Retinoic acid is a morphogen and is a powerful teratogen. This receptor controls cell function by directly regulating gene expression. |
