Nuclear receptor coactivator 4, also known as Androgen Receptor Activator (ARA70), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCOA4 gene. It plays an important role in ferritinophagy, acting as a cargo receptor, binding to the ferritin heavy chain and latching on to ATG8 on the surface of the autophagosome.

Interactions

NCOA4 has been shown to interact with:

• Androgen receptor, and
• Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
• Ferritin
• ATG8

• Transcription coregulator
