The Nuclear Receptor PXR is a Lithocholic Acid Sensor That Protects against Liver Toxicity

The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is the molecular target for catatoxic steroids such as pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN), which induce cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) expression and protect the body from harmful chemicals.
