Abstract excerpt
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) belongs to the superfamily of nuclear-hormone receptors that function as ligand-activated transcription factors. CAR plays an essential role in the metabolism of xenobiotics and shows--in contrast to related receptors--constitutive activity. However, the molecular basis for the constitutive activity remains unclear. In the present study, homology models of the ligand...
