FXR

FXR; NR1H4

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. FXR regulates the expression of various genes by binding to DNA either as a monomer or a heterodimer with the common partner for NRs, retinoid x receptor (RXR), to FXR response elements. Two known FXR genes exist, the FXRα and FXRβ.

FXR is mainly expressed in liver and small intestine, where it plays an important role in bile acid, lipid, and glucose metabolism. FXR affects several metabolic pathways through its specific target genes, regulating bile acid (BA) synthesis and homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism, also exhibiting a crucial role in intestinal bacterial growth and liver regeneration.

    Activator 99.39%
    Benoxacor (CGA 154281) is a herbicide safener and xenobiotic metabolism regulator. Benoxacor protects maize from the toxicity of metolachlor mainly by inducing detoxifying enzymes such as Glutathione S-transferase. Benoxacor also activates FXR, PXR and ERRα, and inhibits aromatase (aromatase). However, Benoxacor exhibits potential subacute oral toxicity and a high risk of hepatotoxicity in animal models. Benoxacor induces reactive oxygen species accumulation, interferes with embryonic heart development, and causes increased liver and kidney weights as well as alterations in gut microbiota in mice. Benoxacor can be used in studies related to hepatic steatosis, infertility, breast cancer and developmental toxicity.
