An evaluation of the anti-inflammatory properties of the pregnane X receptor gene isoforms PXR1 and PXR3

The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor (NR) that primarily activates genes involved in drug metabolism. However, PXR also suppresses inflammation. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of PXR1 and the minor isoform PXR3. Luciferase reporter experiments showed that like...
