Bile acids, the end product of cholesterol metabolism, are signaling molecules. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid sensor and is part of a network of nuclear receptors that regulate bile acid homeostasis. In addition to FXR, bile acids activate other nuclear receptors (CAR, PXR and VDR), cell surface receptors including the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GP-BAR1/TGR5), muscarinic receptor and calcium-gated potassium channels.
Targeting FXR in cholestasis: hype or hope.

Abstract
Bile acids, the end product of cholesterol metabolism, are signaling molecules. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid sensor and is part of a network of nuclear receptors that regulate bile acid homeostasis. In addition to FXR, bile acids activate other nuclear receptors (CAR, PXR and VDR), cell surface receptors including the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GP-BAR1/TGR5), muscarinic receptor and calcium-gated potassium channels.File in questo prodotto:
