Biochem/physiol Actions

UVI3003 is a high-affinity selective Pan-retinoid X receptor (RXR) full antagonist. Retinoid actions are predominantly mediated through the formation of various RAR and RXR isotype heterodimers that can act as either transcriptional repressors or activators. UVI3003 has been used as a tool to test the contribution of RXR to transactivation by a given RXR heterodimer. It was found to induce teratogenesis in zebrafish embryos and recently was found to inhibit A?42 aggregation.

The RXR agonist (triphenyltin, TPT) and the RXR antagonist (UVI3003) both show teratogenicity and, unexpectedly, induce similar malformations in Xenopus tropicalis embryos. In the present study, we exposed X. tropicalis embryos to UVI3003 in seven specific developmental windows and identified

The aggregation of the 42-residue form of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ42) is a pivotal event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The use of chemical kinetics has recently enabled highly accurate quantifications of the effects of small molecules on specific microscopic steps

Retinoid X receptors (RXRalpha, -beta, and -gamma) occupy a central position in the nuclear receptor superfamily, because they form heterodimers with many other family members and hence are involved in the control of a variety of (patho)physiologic processes. Selective RXR

Tunicates occupy the evolutionary position at the boundary of invertebrates and vertebrates. It exhibits adaptation to broad environmental conditions and is distributed globally. Despite hundreds of years of embryogenesis studies, the genetic basis of the invasive habits of ascidians remains
