Liver X receptors NR1H3 (LXR alpha) and NR1H2 (LXR beta) are sterol-responsive transcription factors that become activated upon the engagement with their cognate oxysterol ligands. Besides inducing a genetic program aimed to reduce the cellular sterol load, ligand-activated NR1H2 & NR1H3 also modulate the expression and activity of genes controlling bile acid synthesis, transport and metabolism such as bile acid-glucuronidating enzyme UGT1A3 which converts hydrophobic bile acids into polar metabolites that can be excreted in the urine (Verreault M et al. 2006).
