Retinoic acid, retinoid X and retinoic acid-related orphan

Jump to

Overview « Hide

Cytoplasmic cellular retinoid binding proteins I (ENSG00000114115), II (ENSG00000114113), III (ENSG00000139194) and IV (ENSG00000162444) are thought to control the levels of intracellular retinoids available for interaction with their receptors [14]. [3H]ATRA and [3H]9-cis-retinoic acid have been used to label RARs and RXRs respectively.


1B. Retinoic acid receptors


More information on this family may be found on the IUPHAR-DB family and introduction pages.


Overview « Hide

Retinoic acid receptors (nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR Committee on Nuclear Receptors, [6]) are nuclear hormone receptors of the NR1B family activated by the vitamin A-derived agonists all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and 9-cis-retinoic acid, and the RAR-selective synthetic agonists TTNPB and adapalene.


Unless otherwise stated all data refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).

2B. Retinoid X receptors


More information on this family may be found on the IUPHAR-DB family and introduction pages.


Overview « Hide

Retinoid X receptors (nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR Committee on Nuclear Receptors, [7]) are NR2B family members activated by 9-cis-retinoic acid and the RXR-selective agonists bexarotene and LG100268, sometimes referred to as rexinoids. These receptors form RXR–RAR heterodimers and RXR–RXR homodimers [4,16].


Unless otherwise stated all data refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).

1F. RAR-related orphan receptors


More information on this family may be found on the IUPHAR-DB family and introduction pages.


Overview « Hide

Retinoic acid-related orphan receptors (ROR, nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR Committee on Nuclear Receptors, [2]) have yet to be assigned a definitive endogenous ligand, although RORα may be synthesized with a ‘captured’ agonist such as cholesterol [10-11].


Unless otherwise stated all data refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).
