Retinoid receptor
Nuclear receptors that bind to retinoids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Retinoid receptors are type II nuclear receptors (a class of proteins) that bind to retinoids. When bound to a retinoid, they act as transcription factors, altering the expression of genes with corresponding response elements.[1]
Subtypes include:
- Retinoic acid receptors (RARs)
- Retinoid X receptors (RXRs)
- RAR-related orphan receptors (RORs)
