Retinoid receptor


Retinoid receptors are nuclear receptors that bind to retinoids. When bound to a retinoid, they act as transcription factors, altering the expression of genes with corresponding response elements. Significant age-related declines in the levels of retinoid receptors in the forebrains of rats have been reversed by supplementation with the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid , which can restore neurogenesis.
