Abstract excerpt
Retinoid X receptor (RXRα) is a nuclear receptor (NR) for retinoic acid (RA) and regulates various NR signaling pathways. Ligand-binding domain (LBD) of RXRα can bind with its ligand 9-cis-RA and cofactors, and mediate the forming of homodimer and homotetramer of RXRα and its heterodimer with other NRs, conferring RXRα the ability to play complicated roles in development and diseases. Due to the coexistence of...
