LXR-a (Liver X receptor alpha, NR1H3) is an orphan nuclear receptor and a member of the NR1 receptor family. The LXR receptors (including LXR-a and LXR-b) bind oxysterols and play key roles in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis in macrophages, primarily by regulating multiple components of the reverse cholesterol transport. They also are potent inhibitors of inflammation and are capable of repressing cytokine and chemokine production by Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated macrophages. LXR-a is expressed mainly in liver and adipose tissue and interacts with RXR, shifting RXR to an active ligand-binding subunit mediating responses to retinoids.
