NR1H3

Nuclear receptor that exhibits a ligand-dependent transcriptional activation activity (PubMed:18055760, PubMed:19520913, PubMed:20427281). Interaction with retinoic acid receptor (RXR) shifts RXR from its role as a silent DNA-binding partner to an active ligand-binding subunit in mediating retinoid responses through target genes defined by LXRES. LXRES are DR4-type response elements characterized by direct repeats of two similar hexanuclotide half-sites spaced by four nucleotides. Plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, regulating cholesterol uptake through MYLIP-dependent ubiquitination of LDLR, VLDLR and LRP8. Interplays functionally with RORA for the regulation of genes involved in liver metabolism (By similarity). Induces LPCAT3-dependent phospholipid remodeling in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes of hepatocytes, driving SREBF1 processing and lipogenesis (PubMed:28846071, PubMed:25806685). Via LPCAT3, triggers the incorporation of arachidonate into phosphatidylcholines of ER membranes, increasing membrane dynamics and enabling triacylglycerols transfer to nascent very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles (PubMed:25806685). Via LPCAT3 also counteracts lipid-induced ER stress response and inflammation, likely by modulating SRC kinase membrane compartmentalization and limiting the synthesis of lipid inflammatory mediators (PubMed:24206663). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q13133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18055760, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19520913, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20427281, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24206663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25806685, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28846071}.(Source UnitProtKB).
