Nuclear receptor TLX, also known as nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 1 (NR2E1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR2E1 gene. TLX is a member of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors and is a homologue of the Drosophila tailless gene. TLX is part of the nuclear receptor subfamily 2 of retinoid X receptor-like proteins. However, unlike the retinoid X receptors, in typical physiologic circumstances it mostly binds to DNA by itself (as a monomer) instead of binding to another protein as a dimer. Using the type I-IV classification system, this means it's likely a type IV nuclear receptor.
