The nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are transcriptional transregulators, which control the expression of specific gene subsets subsequently to ligand binding and to strictly controlled phosphorylation processes. RARs consist of three subtypes, α (NR1B1), β (NR1B2) and γ (NR1B3), encoded by separate genes. RARs function as ligand-dependent transcriptional regulators, heterodimerized with retinoid X receptors (RXRs), which also consist of three types, α NR2B1, β (NR2B2) and γ (NR2B3). RARs play critical roles in a variety of biological processes, including development, reproduction, immunity, organogenesis and homeostasis, as assessed by vitamin A-deficiency (VAD), pharmacological and genetic studies conducted in the mouse.

Retinoid X receptor (RXR) belongs to a family of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate many aspects of metazoan life. A class of nuclear receptors requires RXR as heterodimerization partner for their function.

  • HY-125904
    4-Hydroxyretinoic acid
    		Activator
    4-Hydroxyretinoic acid (4-HRA) is a naturally occurring retinoid derivative with diverse biological effects. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid is formed from retinol catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 isozyme(s), and is mainly metabolized by the liver in the body. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid also serves as the substrate for human liver microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(s) and recombinant UGT2B7. 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid regulates gene expression and cell differentiation via binding to nuclear receptor RAR (Retinoic Acid Receptor), and activates RARs and RXR-alpha, to induce cancer cell apoptosis. In addition, 4-Hydroxyretinoic acid is also involved in various physiological processes such as immune regulation, neuroprotection, and anti-oxidation.
