LXR
Liver X receptor
LXRs (Liver X Receptor α and β) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs are oxysterol-activated transcription factors that upregulate a suite of genes that together promote coordinated mobilization of excess cholesterol from cells and from the body. The LXRs, like other nuclear receptors, are anti-inflammatory, inhibiting signal-dependent induction of pro-inflammatory genes by nuclear factor-κB, activating protein-1, and other transcription factors.
LXRα is expressed predominately in some tissues, including the liver, kidney, macrophages, and adipose tissue. However, LXRβ is ubiquitously expressed. Activating LXRα (mainly expressed in liver) results in high triglyceride production, and growing evidence suggests that selective LXRβ agonists can reduce this side effect.

AZ876 (Standard)
0 ImagesAZ876 (Standard) is the analytical standard of AZ876. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. AZ876 is a selective, orally active agonist of liver X receptor (LXRα/β) (Ki=0.007 μM [LXRα, human], 0.011 μM [LXRβ, human]. AZ876 induces the expression of target genes such as ABCA1 and ABCG1, promotes reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) and regulates lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory effects. AZ876 increases cardiac polyunsaturated fatty acid levels, reduces myocardial fibrosis, and reduces lesion area and monocyte adhesion in atherosclerosis models. AZ876 can be used in cardiovascular disease research, such as preventing and treating β-adrenergic-induced cardiac diastolic dysfunction and inhibiting the progression of atherosclerosis.
