Schematic representation of LXRs activators and the different effects on regulated genes and pathways involved in cholesterol and lipid homeostasis, regulation of immune system and cancer proliferation and progression. When these ligands trigger the activation of LXRs, they heterodimerize with RXR and bind to target gene promoters on LXR-responsive-elements, regulating the transcription and expression of specific target genes.
