The newly discovered retinoic acid-X receptors (RXRs).
All-trans-retinoic acid functions by binding to nuclear receptor proteins (RAR alpha,beta,gamma) that interact with response elements in various genes involved in development and differentiation. A new family of nuclear receptors (RXR alpha,beta,gamma) has been discovered that uses 9-cis-retinoic acid as ligand and may function particularly in regulation of genes involved in intermediary metabolism.
