Abstract

Nuclear receptors are important signalling molecules that directly mediate the effects of hormones, vitamins and xenobiotic compounds at the level of gene expression. Several members of this superfamily of proteins have been implicated in receptor-dependent carcinogenesis. In this review, we summarise how these receptors can function as transcription factors with particular emphasis on the mechanism of transcription activation by the human glucocorticoid receptor τ₁ transactivation domain.
