Bile acids regulate the transcription of genes that control cholesterol homeostasis through molecular mechanisms that are poorly understood. Physiological concentrations of free and conjugated… Expand
Bile acids lower triglyceride levels via a pathway involving FXR, SHP, and SREBP-1c.

Organisms encounter a wide range of foreign compounds—or ‘xenobiotics’—with potentially harmful consequences. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes metabolize xenobiotics and thus are a primary defence… Expand
A new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that interacts with a subset of retinoic acid response elements.

We have identified and characterized a new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, called MB67, which is predominantly expressed in liver. MB67 binds and transactivates the… Expand
Nuclear Receptor-Dependent Bile Acid Signaling Is Required for Normal Liver Regeneration
Liver mass depends on one or more unidentified humoral signals that drive regeneration when liver functional capacity is diminished. Bile acids are important liver products, and their levels are… Expand
Farnesoid X receptor is essential for normal glucose homeostasis.
The bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR; NR1H4) is a central regulator of bile acid and lipid metabolism. We show here that FXR plays a key regulatory role in glucose homeostasis. FXR-null… Expand
An Orphan Nuclear Hormone Receptor That Lacks a DNA Binding Domain and Heterodimerizes with Other Receptors
SHP is an orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that contains the dimerization and ligand-binding domain found in other family members but lacks the conserved DNA binding domain.… Expand
Interactions between Hepatic Mrp4 and Sult2a as Revealed by the Constitutive Androstane Receptor and Mrp4 Knockout Mice*

The ABC transporter, Mrp4, transports the sulfated steroid DHEA-s, and sulfated bile acids interact with Mrp4 with high affinity. Hepatic Mrp4 levels are low, but increase under cholestatic… Expand
