Protein function (UniProt)

Ligand-dependent nuclear receptor-interacting factor 1

Together with SMCHD1, involved in chromosome X inactivation in females by promoting the compaction of heterochromatin (PubMed:23542155). Also able to repress the ligand-induced transcriptional activity of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA), possibly through direct recruitment of histone deacetylases (PubMed:17455211). Also required for silencing of the DUX4 locus in somatic cells (PubMed:32467133)
