Target type: molecularfunction
Binding to retinoic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid. [GOC:hjd]
Retinoic acid (RA) binding is a crucial molecular function that plays a central role in regulating gene expression and cellular differentiation. RA, an active metabolite of vitamin A, exerts its effects by binding to specific nuclear receptors known as retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). These receptors belong to the superfamily of nuclear receptors that act as ligand-dependent transcription factors.
Upon binding to RA, RARs and RXRs undergo a conformational change, leading to the recruitment of coactivator proteins. This complex then binds to specific DNA sequences known as retinoic acid response elements (RAREs) located in the promoter regions of target genes.
The binding of RA-RAR/RXR complexes to RAREs activates or represses gene transcription, depending on the specific target gene and cellular context. This regulation of gene expression is essential for various developmental processes, including embryogenesis, organogenesis, and cell differentiation.
Moreover, RA signaling plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and regulating immune responses. RA is also involved in the development of the nervous system, the reproductive system, and the cardiovascular system.
In summary, RA binding to nuclear receptors triggers a cascade of events that ultimately lead to alterations in gene expression, impacting a wide range of biological processes.'
