Preferred Label : Pregnane X Receptor;
MeSH definition : Steroid receptor that binds and is activated by variety of endogenous compounds and
XENOBIOTICS. It binds the response element in promoters of genes that encode CYTOCHROME
P450 3A4 and ATP BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER, SUBFAMILY B, MEMBER 1 proteins, and
also activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and
secretion of potentially harmful xenobiotics, drugs, and endogenous compounds. It
is activated by the antibiotic RIFAMPICIN and various plant metabolites, such as hyperforin,
guggulipid, colupulone, and ISOFLAVONES.;
MeSH synonym : NR1I2; Steroid X Receptor; SXR Receptor; Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 1, Group I, Member 2; Steroid and Xenobiotic Receptor;
Origin ID : D000077297;
