Summary: Enables protein heterodimerization activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in cuticle development and regulation of adult chitin-containing cuticle pigmentation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval gut; gut section; larval brain; organism subdivision; and presumptive embryonic/larval peripheral nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Orthologous to several human genes including NR4A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2) and NR4A3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3).

What's a GeneRIF?

Loss of Hr38 decreases ethanol tolerance and causes ethanol preference. Hr38 functions as an immediate early transcription factor that promotes ethanol behavioral plasticity.
Title: Mef2 induction of the immediate early gene Hr38/Nr4a is terminated by Sirt1 to promote ethanol tolerance.
Hr38 was identified as a novel immediate early gene that is transiently expressed in the male silkmoth Bombyx mori by female odor stimulation. Hr38 was also used as a neural activity marker in the fly Drosophila melanogaster.
Title: Visualization of neural activity in insect brains using a conserved immediate early gene, Hr38.
DHR38 might modulate the activity of the Usp-EcR heterodimer by forming complexes with both of its components
Title: The composite nature of the interaction between nuclear receptors EcR and DHR38.
dHR38-N-Terminal domain exhibits a characteristic reminiscent of pre-molten globule-like intrinsically disordered proteins
Title: Intrinsic disorder of Drosophila melanogaster hormone receptor 38 N-terminal domain.
Nutritional regulation of DHR38 expression maintains the proper uptake and storage of glycogen during the growing larval stage of development.
Title: The Drosophila NR4A nuclear receptor DHR38 regulates carbohydrate metabolism and glycogen storage.
DHR38(Y214) mutants display minor effects on ecdysone-regulated transcription at the onset of metamorphosis
Title: Drosophila DHR38 nuclear receptor is required for adult cuticle integrity at eclosion.
DHR38 may act as a positive regulator of neural Ddc expression
Title: The orphan nuclear receptor DHR38 influences transcription of the DOPA decarboxylase gene in epidermal and neural tissues of Drosophila melanogaster.
Gain and loss of function studies also implicate DHR38, the Drosophila homolog of vertebrate NGFI-B-type nuclear receptors, as an important activator of the ACP65A gene.
Title: The Drosophila ACP65A cuticle gene: deletion scanning analysis of cis-regulatory sequences and regulation by DHR38.
A second ecdysteroid signaling pathway is mediated by DHR38. DHR38 also heterodimerizes with Ultraspiralcle, and this complex responds to a distinct class of ecdysteroids in a manner that is independent of the ecdysteroid receptor.
Title: The Drosophila orphan nuclear receptor DHR38 mediates an atypical ecdysteroid signaling pathway.
Hr38 is a nuclear receptor which can assume an active conformation in the absence of a ligand agonist.
