When bound by the oxidized derivatives of cholesterol (oxysterols), activated LXR receptors function as sterol sensors to regulate transcription of the genes involved in the cholesterol homeostasis (1,2). The LXR-α protein is expressed at high levels in rat liver, kidney, intestine, adipose, and spleen; LXR-β is more ubiquitously expressed within rat tissues (1,3). Research studies indicate that glucose binds and upregulates the transcriptional activity of LXR-α and LXR-β (4). LXR-α and LXR-β are putative glucose sensors that integrate glucose metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis in the liver (4). Additional studies show that female mice deficient in LXR-β develop gallbladder cancer (5). In addition, LXR-β plays a role in protecting dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson's disease model (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nliver X nuclear receptor beta; Liver X receptor beta; liver X receptor-beta; LX receptor beta; LXR-b; LXR-beta; LXRB; NER; NER-I; NR1H2; nuclear orphan receptor LXR-beta; Nuclear receptor NER; Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 2; nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group H, member 2; Oxysterols receptor LXR-beta; RIP15; steroid hormone-nuclear receptor NER; Ubiquitously-expressed nuclear receptor; UNR\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 63\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797596229801,"sku":"13519T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-13519t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
