Abstract excerpt
Nurr1, an orphan nuclear receptor mainly expressed in the central nervous system, is essential for the development of the midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Nurr1 binds DNA as a monomer and exhibits constitutive transcriptional activity. Nurr1 can also regulate transcription as a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and activate transcription in response to RXR ligands. However, the specific physiological...
