Retinoid Receptor Pathway

Molecular classification
Signal Transduction Pathway, Nuclear Hormone Receptor Pathway
01

Overview

The retinoid receptor pathway is a crucial signaling mechanism mediated by retinoic acid (RA) and involving the Retinoic Acid Receptors (RARs) and Retinoid X Receptors (RXRs). It regulates gene expression, development, immunity, metabolism, and cellular differentiation through ligand-induced dimerization, DNA binding at RAREs, and recruitment of coactivators or corepressors.
