Abstract excerpt
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) belongs to the thyroid hormone/retinoid receptor subfamily of nuclear receptors and functions as a heterodimer with retinoid X receptor (RXR). The RXR-VDR heterodimer, in contrast to other members of the class II nuclear receptor subfamily, is nonpermissive where RXR does not bind its cognate ligand, and therefore its role in VDR-mediated transactivation by liganded RXR-VDR has not...
