Identification of a Novel Retinoid X Receptor Agonist from Boenninghausenia albiflora var. japonica.

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are nuclear receptors involved in various crucial biological processes, such as gene regulation, metabolism, and cell differentiation. They predominantly function as heterodimers with other nuclear receptors and modulate gene expression in response to ligand binding. Additionally, they act as therapeutic targets for different conditions, such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
