Source Organism

Avian erythroblastosis virus (strain ES4).

Taxomomy

Viruses; Retro-transcribing viruses; Retroviridae; Orthoretrovirinae;Alpharetrovirus.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus (By similarity).

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

Post translational Modification

Function

Acts as a thyroid-hormone receptor antagonist. The v- ErbA oncogene cooperates with v-ErbB and other primarily sarcoma- inducing oncogenes in transformation of erythroblasts. It is non transforming by itself and cannot induce self-renewal of erythroblasts. Instead it blocks the residual capacity of the v- ErbB cells to differentiate terminally.
