PEP-114 is a 12 amino acid synthetic peptide whose sequence corresponds to residues 318-329 of human LXR alpha with an amino-terminal cysteine added for carrier protein conjugation. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C-D318-F-S-Y-N-R-E-D-F-A-K-A (329).
This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product and human LXR alpha, catalog # PA1-330. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.

NR1H3 (oxysterols receptor LXR-alpha) is a nuclear receptor that exhibits a ligand-dependent transcriptional activation activity. Its interaction with retinoic acid receptor (RXR) shifts RXR from its role as a silent DNA-binding partner to an active ligand-binding subunit in mediating retinoid responses through target genes defined by LXRES. LXRES are DR4-type response elements characterized by direct repeats of two similar hexanucleotide half-sites spaced by four nucleotides. NR1H3 plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, regulating cholesterol uptake through MYLIP-dependent ubiquitination of LDLR, VLDLR, and LRP8. It also interplays functionally with RORA for the regulation of genes involves in liver metabolism.
