Nuclear receptors are key transcription factors regulating gene expression in multicellular organisms. This review details their structure, function, and mechanisms in gene activation and repression.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Nuclear receptors form a large superfamily of transcription factors crucial for development and homeostasis.
  • They uniquely bind to condensed chromatin, initiating gene transcription.
  • Their ability to recruit co-regulators highlights their biological significance and research interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on nuclear receptor structure and function.
  • To summarize their role as principal regulators of gene expression.
  • To emphasize molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptor-mediated gene transcription.

Main Methods:
