Abstract
The nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2) and constitutive active receptor (CAR, NR1I3) have both been proposed to function as xenosensors, but the details of their respective physiological roles are still being elucidated. We have contrasted these two receptors in a variety of experiments including gene expression assays, cell-based ligand profiling assays, and crystallographic/structural modeling analyses. These data highlight key differences between PXR and CAR.Entities:
