Abstract excerpt
alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a serum protein expressed during fetal life, the expression of which is shut off after birth. The activity of the mouse Afp gene promoter region comprised between -80 and -38 bp is regulated by the thyroid hormone receptor (T3R): negatively in the presence of T3 and positively in the absence of T3. The stimulating effect of unliganded T3R is, unexpectedly, antagonized by cofactors that...
