The liver X receptors (LXR? and LXR?) are nuclear hormone receptors whose native ligands are oxysterols.{8532} LXRs regulate the oxysterol-induced expression of cholesterol 7?-hydroxylase, the rate limiting enzyme of classic bile acid synthesis. 22(R)-hydroxy Cholesterol is an endogenous agonist for LXRs that activates LXR? with an EC50 value of 325 nM.{9802} 22(R)-hydroxy Cholesterol, acting through LXR heterodimerized with the retinoid X receptor, induces the expression of the ABCA1 reverse cholesterol transporter.{9803} This activity increases the efflux of cholesterol from enterocytes and thus inhibits the overall absorption of cholesterol. 22(R)-hydroxy Cholesterol can be used as a substrate to monitor cholesterol transport or as an endogenous positive control for testing LXR agonists which have potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
