RAR and RXR Degradation Pathway
Once retinoids are bound by the RAR/RXR heterodimer they became transcriptional activated. As a consequence they are degraded by the proteasome. Phosphorylation in the activation domain one (AF1) and presence of the activation domain 2 (AF2) trigger the ubiquitination of the receptors. Moreover, heterodimerization of RAR and RXR accelerate degradation of the receptors. (NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
