Journal ArticleDOI

The RXR heterodimers and orphan receptors

TL;DR: The historical links between the steroid and nonsteroid receptor signaling systems are established, the explosive development of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimer and orphan receptor family is charted, the impact of these discoveries on the authors' understanding of the mechanisms of hormonal signaling is explained, and emerging issues and implications are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Nuclear Receptor for Bile Acids

TL;DR: Results presented here show that bile acids are physiological ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), an orphan nuclear receptor, which demonstrates a mechanism by which bile acid transcriptionally regulate their biosynthesis and enterohepatic transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear receptors and lipid physiology: opening the X-files.

TL;DR: Some general principles that govern the actions of this class of bioactive lipids and their nuclear receptors are considered here, and the scheme that emerges reveals a complex molecular script at work.
Journal ArticleDOI

9-cis retinoic acid is a high affinity ligand for the retinoid X receptor

TL;DR: An experimental approach is reported that has identified 9-cis RA as an RXR ligand, up to 40-fold more potent than all-trans RA in transfection assays and binds with high affinity.
