ASC2 Activators

Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 6 (NCOA6), also known as Activating Signal Cointegrator 3 (Asc-3), is a multifunctional protein that plays a crucial role in gene regulation and transcriptional coactivation. It belongs to a family of coactivators that interact with nuclear receptors, which are transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to various signaling molecules, including hormones and vitamins.NCOA6 serves as a bridge between nuclear receptors and the transcriptional machinery, facilitating the activation of target genes. It does so by recruiting other coactivators and components of the transcriptional complex to the promoter regions of specific genes. This recruitment is essential for efficient gene transcription and the appropriate cellular response to signaling molecules.

One of the notable functions of NCOA6 is its involvement in the regulation of metabolic processes. It interacts with nuclear receptors like PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) and FXR (farnesoid X receptor), which play critical roles in lipid and glucose metabolism. NCOA6 helps fine-tune the expression of genes involved in these metabolic pathways, impacting overall metabolic homeostasis.Additionally, NCOA6 has been implicated in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Its versatile role in gene regulation underscores its significance in diverse biological contexts.Dysregulation of NCOA6 has been associated with several diseases, including cancer. In some cases, aberrant NCOA6 expression or activity can lead to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells, making it a potential target for intervention.
