Abstract excerpt
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) stimulates transcription as a 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3))-activated heterodimer with retinoid X receptor (RXR). RXR also forms homodimers to mediate 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cis RA)-induced gene expression. Both receptors possess a C-terminal hormone-dependent activation function-2 (AF-2), a highly conserved region that binds coactivators to transduce the...
