The nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor(PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor(CAR) were cloned and/or established as xenobiotic receptors in 1998.Due to their activities in the transcriptional regulation of phas...
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a transcription factor that belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily. CAR binds as a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) to CAR response elements (CAREs...
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact on expression of mRNA and protein by paradigm inducers/activators of nuclear receptors and their target genes in rat hepatic and intestinal cells. Furthermore,...
