Liver X receptor pathway (WP2874)

Homo sapiens

The liver X receptor (LXR) is a nuclear receptor involved in the regulation of liver-specific processes, such as cholesterol, fatty acid and glucose homeostasis. Proteins on this pathway have targeted assays available via the [https://assays.cancer.gov/available_assays?wp_id=WP2874 CPTAC Assay Portal]
