Abstract excerpt
Nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) act as ligand-dependent activators, but paradoxically unliganded TRs can increase transcription of promoters containing negative response elements (nTRE), and hormone binding represses this activation. The rat growth hormone (GH) promoter contains a positive TRE and a nTRE. Ligand-dependent negative regulation mediated by the nTRE could play an important physiological role...
