LXRα-ligand binding domain (215-667) human

产品说明

生化/生理作用

Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that regulate the metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids. There are two subtypes of LXRs, LXR α and LXR β. LXRa is preferentially expressed in liver, small intestine, kidney and spleen. In contrast, LXR β expression is ubiquitous. The genomic structure and the promoter regions of the two LXR genes contain specific regulatory sites, which suggest that LXRs may have physiological roles in the immune system. Like other nuclear receptors, LXRs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptor (RXR) for function. LXRs are activated by naturally occurring oxysterols and regulate the expression of target genes, including ATP binding cassette transporter 1 (ABC1), ATP binding cassette transporter 8 (ABC8) and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP). The ligand binding domain (LBD) of LXR determines ligand specificity and mediates the trans-activation function of the receptor.
