Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds the NGFI-B response element (NBRE) 5′-AAAGGTCA-3′ (PubMed:18690216, PubMed:8121493, PubMed:9315652). Binds 9-cis-retinoic acid outside of its ligand-binding (NR LBD) domain (PubMed:18690216). Participates in energy homeostasis by sequestrating the kinase STK11 in the nucleus, thereby attenuating cytoplasmic AMPK activation (PubMed:22983157). Regulates the inflammatory response in macrophages by regulating metabolic adaptations during inflammation, including repressing the transcription of genes involved in the citric acid cycle (TCA) (By similarity). Inhibits NF-kappa-B signaling by binding to low-affinity NF-kappa-B binding sites, such as at the IL2 promoter (PubMed:15466594). May act concomitantly with NR4A2 in regulating the expression of delayed-early genes during liver regeneration (By similarity). Plays a role in the vascular response to injury (By similarity). ; In the cytosol, upon its detection of both bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and NBRE-containing mitochondrial DNA released by GSDMD pores during pyroptosis, it promotes non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation by stimulating association of NLRP3 and NEK7.
