MED23: Proteins and Enzymes

DRIPs are a distinct set of ligand-dependent proteins that interact with the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Together, these proteins constitute a new cofactor complex. DRIPs bind to several nuclear receptors to mediate ligand-dependent enhancement of transcription by VDR and the thyroid hormone receptor in cell-free transcription assays. The DRIPs are almost indistinguishable from components of another cofactor complex called ARC, which is recruited by other types of transcription activators to ...
