AbstractNuclear receptors (NRs) regulate transcription in response to ligand binding and NR modulation allows pharmacological control of gene expression. Although some NRs are relevant as drug targets, the NR1 family, which comprises 19 NRs binding to hormones, vitamins, and lipid metabolites, has only been partially explored from a translational perspective.

Opportunities and challenges in targeting orphan nuclear receptors Laura Isigkeit a  and  Daniel Merk *ab   Abstract Nuclear receptor modulation enables pharmacological control of gene expression thus rendering the 48 human nuclear receptors as attractive targets for drug discovery. Several nuclear receptor ligands like glucocorticoids are approved and highly important drugs illustrating the therapeutic potential of nuclear receptor modulation.
