The Human, but Not Rat, dio2 Gene Is Stimulated by Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1)
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Types 1 and 2 iodothyronine deiodinases (D1 and D2) catalyze the production of T(3) from T(4). D2 mRNA is abundant in the human thyroid but very low in adult rat thyroid, whereas D1 activity is high in both. To understand the molecular regulation of these genes in thyroid cells, the effect of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) and the paired domain-containing protein 8 (Pax-8) on the transcriptional activity...
