Anti-NR1I3 Antibody

The nuclear hormone receptor superfamily is a large group of related transcription factors which includes members that bind a diverse array of ligands, including steroids, retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D. Nuclear hormone receptors contain a DNA-binding domain (DBD) and a ligand-binding domain [PMID: 10221899]. Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 3 (NR1I3; CAR), binds and transactivates the retinoic acid response elements that control expression of the retinoic acid receptor beta 2 and alcohol dehydrogenase 3 genes. It is expressed primarily in liver and regulates the expression of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism as well as hormone, energy, and lipid homeostasis [PMID:22896671].
