RAR/RXR
Retinoic acid receptors; Retinoid X receptors
The nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) are transcriptional transregulators, which control the expression of specific gene subsets subsequently to ligand binding and to strictly controlled phosphorylation processes. RARs consist of three subtypes, α (NR1B1), β (NR1B2) and γ (NR1B3), encoded by separate genes. RARs function as ligand-dependent transcriptional regulators, heterodimerized with retinoid X receptors (RXRs), which also consist of three types, α NR2B1, β (NR2B2) and γ (NR2B3). RARs play critical roles in a variety of biological processes, including development, reproduction, immunity, organogenesis and homeostasis, as assessed by vitamin A-deficiency (VAD), pharmacological and genetic studies conducted in the mouse.
Retinoid X receptor (RXR) belongs to a family of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate many aspects of metazoan life. A class of nuclear receptors requires RXR as heterodimerization partner for their function.

Liarozole dihydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: R75251 dihydrochlorideLiarozole (R75251) dihydrochloride is an imidazole derivative and orally active retinoic acid (RA) metabolism-blocking agent (RAMBA). Liarozole dihydrochloride inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP26)-dependent 4-hydroxylation of RA (IC50=7 μM), resulting in increased tissue levels of RA. Liarozole dihydrochloride shows antitumoral properties.

DC271
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-D1190CAS No.: 198696-03-6DC271 is a RAR agonist and synthetic retinoid that binds to the retinoid-binding site of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II (CRBP-II). DC271 exhibits solvatochromic fluorescence properties: it produces intense blue-shifted emission in nonpolar environments and weak red-shifted emission in polar environments, and its severe fluorescence quenching in aqueous solutions can be reversed by embedding in the hydrophobic retinoid-binding protein pocket. DC271 enables direct detection of the binding between unlabeled compounds and related retinoid-binding proteins via fluorescence competition assays (Ex/Em = 355 nm/460 nm).
