NR2F1

NR2F1 (COUP-TF1) is an orphan nuclear receptor gene on chromosome 5 encoding a transcriptional regulator of brain and visual system development; haploinsufficiency causes Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome (BBSOAS).

NR2F2

NR2F2 (COUP-TFII, ARP-1) is a human orphan nuclear receptor gene at 15q26.2 encoding a transcription factor essential for venous identity, lymphatic development, heart formation, and metabolism; heterozygous variants cause congenital heart defects, diaphragmatic hernia, and sex-development differences.

NR3C2

NR3C2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 2), also called the aldosterone receptor gene, encodes the mineralocorticoid receptor on chromosome 4q31. Loss-of-function mutations cause autosomal dominant pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1; the S810L mutation causes pregnancy-exacerbated hypertension.

NR4A1

NR4A1 (Nur77, TR3, NGFI-B) is a human orphan nuclear receptor gene at 12q13.13 encoding a ligand-independent transcription factor and immediate early gene regulating metabolism, inflammation, immunity, and apoptosis via Bcl-2, with pro-oncogenic roles in solid tumors.

NR4A2

NR4A2 (NURR1, NOT, TINUR, RNR1, HZF-3) is a human orphan nuclear receptor transcription factor on chromosome 2, an immediate early gene essential for dopaminergic neuron development and implicated in Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and neurodevelopmental disorder.

NR4A3

NR4A3 (NOR1, CHN, MINOR) is a human orphan nuclear receptor gene at 9q22 encoding a ligand-independent transcription activator; its fusions, chiefly EWSR1::NR4A3, define extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, and its loss promotes AML.

NR5A1

NR5A1 (SF-1, Ad4BP, FTZ-F1) is a human gene on 9q33.3 encoding steroidogenic factor 1, an orphan nuclear receptor essential for adrenal and gonadal development; mutations cause 46,XY DSD, infertility, and rarely adrenal insufficiency.

NR5A2

NR5A2 (LRH-1, liver receptor homolog-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor gene on chromosome 1q32 regulating liver, pancreas, intestine, and ovary development, bile acid and cholesterol metabolism, intestinal glucocorticoid synthesis, and immune function.

Nrap protein domain 1

Nrap protein domain 1 (Pfam PF03813, InterPro IPR035082) is the first of six repeated domains in nucleolar RNA-associated proteins (Nrap/NOL6/Utp22), conserved from yeast to human and involved in ribosome biogenesis via pre-rRNA interaction; distinct from the muscle NRAP gene.

NRBQ

NRBQ, widely called "The Q," is an American rock band known for its eclectic blend of rock, jazz, and R&B, and for founding keyboardist Terry Adams' five-decade career.

NRC-AN-019

NRC-AN-019 (AN-019, CAS 879507-25-2) is Natco Pharma's imatinib analogue Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor for imatinib-resistant CML; FDA orphan drug designation 2011 for CML, glioma and pancreatic cancer; Phase I completed in India.

Nreal

Nreal, rebranded XREAL in 2023, is a Beijing consumer augmented reality company founded in 2017 by Chi Xu, making tethered AR glasses that ranked first globally in sales revenue from 2022 to 2025.

NRG Stadium

NRG Stadium is a retractable-roof stadium in Houston, Texas, home of the NFL's Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, opened in 2002.

NRIP1

NRIP1, also called RIP140, is a human chromosome 21 gene encoding a nuclear LXXLL-motif coregulator of nuclear receptors, an agonist-dependent corepressor involved in circadian clock, fertility, kidney development, and metabolism.
