Product Description

The retinoid X receptor (RXR) is a pleiotropic nuclear receptor transcription factor that interacts with a variety of nuclear receptor dimeric partner. RXR binds cognate response elements as a homodimer in the presence of its ligand, 9-cis retinoic acid, or as a heterodimer with other members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily including retinoic acid receptors (RAR), thyroid hormone receptors (TR), vitamin D receptors and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors (PPAR). The RXR family includes three difference isoforms, RXR alpha, beta, gamma. Human RXR alpha gene is localized on 9q34.9 and encodes two major isoforms (RXRa1, RXRa2). The DNA binding domain of RXR (111-228aa) was overexpressed in E.coli.
