Preferred Label : RAR and RXR Degradation Pathway;
NCIt related terms : Degradation of the RAR and RXR by the proteasome;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: Once retinoids are bound by the RAR/RXR heterodimer they became transcriptional
activated. As a consequence they are degraded by the proteasome. Phosphorylation in
the activation domain one (AF1) and presence of the activation domain 2 (AF2) trigger
the ubiquitination of the receptors. Moreover, heterodimerization of RAR and RXR accelerate
degradation of the receptors. (This definition may be outdated - see the DesignNote.);
