General description
Liver X receptor α and β (LXR-α/LXR-β) are members of LXRs that belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. LXR-α is expressed predominantly in macrophages, liver, intestine, kidney, lung and adipose tissue. The protein contains a DNA-binding domain that requires the ligand-binding domain to heterodimerize with a retinoid X receptor partner for its DNA-binding activity. The gene encoding this protein is localized on to human chromosome 11p11.2.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence CRLQDKKLPPLLSEI from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_005684; NP_009052.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Liver X receptor α (LXR-α) has an important role in the control of cholesterol homeostasis. LXRs have been found to regulate inflammatory response in macrophages. They are also involved in the regulation of cell proliferation.
