Next Generation Sequencing of Wild Type and LXRα-Ser196 phosphorylation deficient Murine Hepatic Transcriptomes on a Chow diet. Mus musculus

Liver X Receptors (LXRα and β) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a key role in the control of lipid homeostasis, as well as modulation of immunity and inflammation. LXR activity can be regulated by posttranslational modifications, such as phosphorylation. This study aims to assess changes in the hepatic transcriptional profiles of mice that carry a whole-body phosphorylation deficient knock in mutant of LXRα (S196A) compared to wild-type (WT) fed a chow diet. Overall design: Liver mRNA profiles of either wild-type (WT) or LXRα-S196A 16-week old female mice on a chow diet. Three biological replicate samples for each group are included. WT samples are used as controls.
