ASC-2: An important co-activator of different nuclear receptors

ASC-2, also known as Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 6, directly binds nuclear receptors and stimulates the transcriptional activities in a hormone-dependent fashion. It is involved in the co-activation of different nuclear receptors, such as for steroids (GR and ERs), retinoids (RARs and RXRs), thyroid hormone (TRs), vitamin D3 (VDR) and prostanoids (PPARs). It is believed to function as a general co-activator, rather than just a nuclear receptor co-activator.
