Abstract excerpt
Activity of nuclear receptors is regulated by their nuclear localization. Liver X receptors (LXR) alpha and beta are nuclear receptors that regulate transcription of genes for cholesterol metabolism, cholesterol transport, and lipogenesis. While LXR alpha and beta are very similar in structure and exhibit similar ligand binding properties, their physiological roles are quite different. Since the LXRs fall into a...
