Nuclear Receptors control many developmental and physiological processes by regulating the expression of networks of genes. Their ability to activate or repress gene transcription depends on the recruitment of coactivators and corepressors that function as scaffolds for the binding of chromatin remodelling enzymes. RIP140 is a ligand dependant corepressor for most, if not all, nuclear receptors with key roles in energy homeostasis and reproduction.RIP140...
