| Department: | Chemistry |
| Description: | Approximately 13 of the 48 known human nuclear receptors (NRs) have approved, clinically used drugs, accounting for roughly 15-20% of all pharmacological drug targets. These include drugs to treat cancer (breast, prostate, blood), autoimmune disorders, diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, and thyroid diseases. Nuclear receptors are proteins that modulate gene expression through the recruitment of repressor or activator complexes, ultimately controlling expression of downstream gene products. This course will examine the structure and function of the steroid, thyroid and retinoic acid receptors in the cell and drugs that modulate these systems. |
