A typical nuclear receptor contains a variable N-terminal region (A/B), a conserved DBD (C), a variable hinge region (D), a conserved LBD (E), and a variable C-terminal region (F). Nuclear receptors can be grouped into four classes according to their ligand binding, DNA binding, and dimerization properties: steroid receptors, RXR heterodimers, homodimeric orphan receptors, and monomeric orphan receptors. Shown are representative receptors for each group. A complete listing is given in Figure 3. Question marks refer to orphan receptors for which ligands are not known. See accompanying reviews for details.
