Plakophilin-2 promotes tumor development by enhancing ligand-dependent and -independent epidermal growth factor receptor dimerization and activation.

abstract：:Retinoid X receptors (RXR) have been identified as common subunits in the regulation of multiple hormonal signaling pathways. Using circular permutation and phasing analysis of specific response elements, we present evidence that RXR-retinoic acid receptor and RXR-thyroid hormone receptor heterodimer or RXR-RXR homodi...
