    Glossary Retinoid X Receptor

    regulates gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences

    The Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) is a type of nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. It binds to specific DNA sequences and partners with other receptors to control various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. RXRs are important in the context of skin health and hair growth, as they can influence the activity of genes involved in these processes.
