| Targets |
16α-Hydroxytrametenolic acid targets the retinoid X receptor (RXR), functioning as a potential selective agonist. RXRs are nuclear receptors that play important roles in various biological processes including cell differentiation, metabolism, and development. They function as obligate heterodimer partners for many other nuclear receptors, including retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thyroid hormone receptors, and vitamin D receptors. By modulating RXR activity, 16α-Hydroxytrametenolic acid may influence these diverse signaling pathways.
