Retinoid X receptor (RXR)
The retinoid X receptor is a switch inside cells that vitamin A-like molecules turn on to change which genes are active; bexarotene uses it to make lymphoma cells in the skin mature and die. This dossier gathers the 1 product (1 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Ligand binding recruits co-activators and drives differentiation and apoptosis genes in malignant T cells; RXR also modulates PPAR-gamma-dependent lipid metabolism.
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (bexarotene)
