Enables chromatin DNA binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and nuclear retinoid X receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of transport; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within cellular lipid metabolic process and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ.
