Dual Mechanisms for Repression of the Monomeric Orphan Receptor Liver Receptor Homologous Protein-1 by the Orphan Small Heterodimer Partner
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The orphan nuclear hormone receptor liver receptor homologous protein-1 (LRH-1; NR5A2, also known as FTF), an unusual receptor that binds DNA as a monomer, is an essential regulator of expression of a rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid formation, cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase. In a classic negative feedback loop that is a crucial component of the complex regulation of cholesterol metabolism, cholesterol...
