BTRX-335140 - An Overview
Mechanism of Motion: Obeticholic acid can be an agonist for Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor expressed in the liver and intestine. FXR is a important regulator of bile acid, inflammatory, fibrotic and metabolic pathways. FXR activation decreases the intracellular hepatocyte concentrations of bile acids by suppressing de novo synthesi
