The WNT-adenomatous polyposis coli system controls cell fate in the intestinal epithelium, where compartment-specific genes tightly regulate proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors functioning as sensors of hormones and nutrients that are known to contribute to colon cancer progression. Here we mapped the messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance and the epithelial localization of the entire nuclear receptor family in mouse and human intestine.
