A method for identifying a synthetic ligand for retinoic acid receptor beta comprises providing a sample, including a synthetic compound, exposing the sample to cultured cells, wherein the cultured cells comprise RARbeta, determining if transcriptional expression of a gene encoding RARbeta is upregulated compared to transcriptional expression of a control gene, and choosing a sample that upregulates the expression of RARbeta as being a synthetic ligand for RARbeta.
