Retinoid X receptors in macrophage biology [PDF]
Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) form a distinct and unique subclass within the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. RXRs regulate a plethora of genetic programs, including cell differentiation, the immune response, and lipid and glucose metabolism.

Regulating Retinoic Acid Availability during Development and Regeneration: The Role of the CYP26 Enzymes. [PDF]
This review focuses on the role of the Cytochrome p450 subfamily 26 (CYP26) retinoic acid (RA) degrading enzymes during development and regeneration. Cyp26 enzymes, along with retinoic acid synthesising enzymes, are absolutely required for RA homeostasis

DNA Bending by Retinoid X Receptor-Containing Retinoid and Thyroid Hormone Receptor Complexes [PDF]
Retinoid X receptors (RXR) have been identified as common subunits in the regulation of multiple hormonal signaling pathways. Using circular permutation and phasing analysis of specific response elements, we present evidence that RXR-retinoic acid receptor and RXR-thyroid hormone receptor heterodimer or RXR-RXR homodimer complexes induce directed DNA ...
