Definition: A DNA-binding transcription factor activity regulated by binding to a ligand that modulates the transcription of specific gene sets transcribed by RNA polymerase II. Nuclear receptor ligands are usually lipid-based (such as a steroid hormone) and the binding of the ligand to its receptor often occurs in the cytosol, which leads to its translocation to the nucleus. Source: PMID:23457262, GOC:txnOH-2018
Comment: Usage guidance: Nuclear receptors are a protein family defined by the presence of a C4-type zinc finger DNA-binding domain and a ligand binding domain. For nuclear receptors, the DNA binding motif is most often referred to as a response element. GO:0004879 is intended for annotation of nuclear receptors that regulate transcription by binding directly to DNA.
