PXR Protein, Human

The PXR protein is a nuclear receptor that acts as a multifunctional transcription factor activated by a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds. It regulates genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of substances, responding to ligands such as rifampicin, hypericin, gugulin, colupulone, isoflavones, pregnenolone and progesterone. PXR Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived PXR protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Background

PXR Protein, a nuclear receptor, serves as a versatile transcription factor activated by a range of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. It plays a pivotal role in regulating the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of potentially harmful substances, including xenobiotics, drugs, and endogenous compounds. Activated by various ligands such as the antibiotic rifampicin, as well as plant metabolites like hyperforin, guggulipid, colupulone, and isoflavones, the response to specific ligands is species-specific. PXR is also activated by naturally occurring steroids, including pregnenolone and progesterone. It binds to response elements in the promoters of key genes such as CYP3A4 and ABCB1/MDR1. Operating in association with RXR, PXR forms heterodimers and interacts with coactivator NCOA1. Moreover, PXR engages in ligand-dependent interactions with the clock proteins CRY1 and CRY2 through its NR LBD domain, adding another layer of complexity to its regulatory functions.
