LXR

Liver X receptor

LXRs (Liver X Receptor α and β) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs are oxysterol-activated transcription factors that upregulate a suite of genes that together promote coordinated mobilization of excess cholesterol from cells and from the body. The LXRs, like other nuclear receptors, are anti-inflammatory, inhibiting signal-dependent induction of pro-inflammatory genes by nuclear factor-κB, activating protein-1, and other transcription factors.

LXRα is expressed predominately in some tissues, including the liver, kidney, macrophages, and adipose tissue. However, LXRβ is ubiquitously expressed. Activating LXRα (mainly expressed in liver) results in high triglyceride production, and growing evidence suggests that selective LXRβ agonists can reduce this side effect.

    GSK-9772
    Modulator
    GSK-9772 is a Liver X Receptor (LXR) modulator of the N-phenyl tertiary amine class (NPTAs) with high affinity for LXR β ligand (IC50=30 nM). GSK-9772 has anti-inflammatory activity by binding to LXR, specifically by interacting with the region associated with the transcriptional repression function of the receptor, thereby inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory genes. GSK-9772 can be used in the study of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
