: RARA acts as a transcription factor. When it binds to Retinoic Acid (a derivative of Vitamin A), it regulates the expression of genes involved in cell growth, differentiation, and development.
: Understanding this receptor has been a breakthrough in cancer treatment. Patients with APL are often treated with high doses of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) , which forces these leukemia cells to mature and die, turning a once-fatal disease into one of the most curable forms of leukemia. 22948 rar
If you tell me more about your specific interest in this gene, I can provide: on its role in embryogenesis. Details on other RAR types (beta or gamma). Information on drug interactions targeting this receptor. : RARA acts as a transcription factor
: It is most famous for its role in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) . In most cases of APL, a piece of chromosome 15 (containing the PML gene) and a piece of chromosome 17 (containing the RARA gene) swap places. This creates a fusion protein called PML-RARA , which prevents immature white blood cells from maturing properly. Patients with APL are often treated with high
The gene provides instructions for making a protein called the retinoic acid receptor alpha, which is a nuclear receptor critical for various biological processes.

This is the time when menstruation is well and truly over, the ovaries have stopped producing high levels of sex hormones and for many ladies, perimenopause symptoms subside.
Estrogen has protective qualities and the diminished levels mean organs such as your brain, heart and bones become more vulnerable. It’s also a key lubricant so your lips may become drier, your joints less supple and your vagina might be drier. In addition, your thyroid, digestion, insulin, cortisol and weight may alter.
At this juncture, a woman might experience an increase in the signs of reduced estrogen but she should have a decrease of perimenopause symptoms. That said, some women will experience symptoms like hot flushes for years or even the rest of their lives.
Peri = ‘near’
Most females begin to experience the symptoms of perimenopause in their mid-forties. Your progesterone levels decline from your mid-30s but it’s generally from around 40 that the rest of your sex hormones begin to follow suit.
Perimenopause is a different experience for every woman and some women may barely notice it. The first indicators are usually changes to the monthly cycle. This means that for some ladies, this can be accompanied by things like sore breasts, mood swings, weight gain around the belly, and fatigue as time goes on.
For those with symptoms it can be a challenging time physically, mentally and emotionally.
Importantly, perimenopause lasts – on average – four to 10 years. The transition is usually a gradual process and many women enter perimenopause without realising.
