Summary

A potent, nonsteroidal FXR ligand is used to show that FXR induces expression of small heterodimer partner 1 (SHP-1), an atypical member of the nuclear receptor family that lacks a DNA-binding domain that provides a molecular basis for the coordinate suppression of CYP7A1 and other genes involved in bile acid biosynthesis.
