Constitutive Androstane Receptor
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a member of the NR1I family of nuclear receptors, along with the pregnane X receptor and vitamin D receptor. The principal function of the constitutive androstane receptor is the sensing and clearance of foreign toxins.

T0901317
T0901317 is a potent and selective agonist for LXR and FXR, with EC50s of 50 nM and 5 μM, respectively[1,2]. T0901317 induces its anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects via an LXR-independent mechanism. T0901317 significantly suppresses cell proliferation and induces programmed cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. T0901317 can protect mice from high fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.
