NR1H2 Antibody

Background:

The LX receptors (LXRs) were originally identified as orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily because their ligands were unknown. Like other receptors in the family, LXRs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptor and bind to specific response elements (LXREs) characterized by direct repeats separated by 4 nucleotides. Two genes, alpha (LXRA) and beta, are known to encode LXR proteins.The LX receptors (LXRs) were originally identified as orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily because their ligands were unknown.
