Abstract excerpt
The liver X receptors (LXR) alpha and beta are ligand-induced transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes important for cholesterol metabolism, lipogenesis, and other metabolic pathways. Despite their high degree of similarity, LXRs have redundant as well as nonredundant functions. The regulation of LXRs' intranuclear mobility most likely plays a major role in the regulation of their...
