Difference between Nuclear receptor and Vitamin A

Nuclear receptor vs. Vitamin A

In the field of molecular biology, nuclear receptors are a class of proteins found within cells that are responsible for sensing steroid and thyroid hormones and certain other molecules. Vitamin A is a group of unsaturated nutritional organic compounds that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, and several provitamin A carotenoids (most notably beta-carotene).

Similarities between Nuclear receptor and Vitamin A

Nuclear receptor and Vitamin A have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Hormone, Protein, Retinoic acid, Retinoid.

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.
