Example sentences for: rxrs

How can you use “rxrs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Each gene may express several different isoforms because of alternative splicing and differential promoter usage [ 2 ] . Both the RARs and RXRs contain functional domains for DNA and ligand binding, dimerization with other transcription factors, and transactivation of RA responsive promoters.

  • The effects of the vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) are mediated by two classes of ligand dependent transcription factors, the retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and the retinoid X receptors (RXR) [ 1 ] . The RARs are activated by all trans RA and 9-cis RA whereas the RXRs are activated by 9-cis RA only.

  • Previous studies have demonstrated that posttranslational modifications of RARs and RXRs are critical to the biological activity of the receptors.

  • RARs and RXRs function as heterodimers that bind to response elements in the promoters of target genes to regulate RA dependent transcription.

  • Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are nuclear transcription factors that mediate the action of retinoids [ 11 12 ] . We have demonstrated that in the rat, castration resulted in an increase in mRNAs for RAR α and γ in the prostate; such effects were prevented by T replacement [ 13 ] . We also demonstrated that the levels of mRNAs for RAR α and γ in non-tumorigenic rat epithelial cells (NRP152) were down-regulated, whereas those in tumorigenic cells (NRP154) were unaffected or up-regulated following T treatment [ 14 ] . In addition, RAR α was over-expressed in tumorigenic NRP154 cells.
