Identification of an activator of the retinoid X receptor.
A metabolite of all-trans retinoic acid produced by insect cells was discovered to activate the intracellular retinoic acid X receptor. The compound, beta-glucopyranosyl 9-cis-retinoate [1], was purified and its structure was determined by analysis of spectroscopic data.
