Structural Perspective of NR4A Nuclear Receptor Family and Their Potential Endogenous Ligands
Ryoichi Hashida,

Abstract:There are 48 nuclear receptors in the human genome, and many members of this superfamily have been implicated in human diseases. The NR4A nuclear receptor family consisting of three members, NR4A1, NR4A2, and NR4A3 (formerly annotated as Nur77, Nurr1, and NOR1, respectively), are still orphan receptors but exert pathological effects on immune-related and neurological diseases. We previously reported that prostaglandin A 1 (PGA 1 ) and prostaglandin A 2 (PGA 2 ) are potent activators of NR4A3, which bind direct… Show more
