The following pages with give brief introductions to each of the human nuclear receptors. Importantly, you will find links to a variety of external databases that provide up-to-date information on the individual NRs. The contents of the page are shown to the left. For basic information on the family NRs, see the General Information tab, in particular if you are confused about the nomenclature of the NRs.
