== Function == | |||
'''Bile acid receptor or farnesoid X receptor''' (FXR) binds bile acids, then translocates to the nucleus, forms a dimer and binds to hormone response elements. This causes up- or down-regulation of certain genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, lipid homeostasis and absorption of fats and vitamins. FXR ligand-binding domain (LBD) binds chenodeoxycholic acid (CDC), lithocholic acid and deoxycholic acid. | '''Bile acid receptor or farnesoid X receptor''' (FXR) binds bile acids, then translocates to the nucleus, forms a dimer and binds to hormone response elements (see [[Nuclear receptors]]).
