Annotation
do not confuse with RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASE-LIKE ORPHAN RECEPTORS
Scope Note
A broad category of receptor-like proteins that may play a role in transcriptional-regulation in the CELL NUCLEUS. Many of these proteins are similar in structure to known NUCLEAR RECEPTORS but appear to lack a functional ligand-binding domain, while in other cases the specific ligands have yet to be identified.
