Abstract excerpt
In mammals, thyroid hormone responsive Spot 14 (THRSP) is a small acidic protein that is predominately expressed in lipogenic tissue (i.e., liver, abdominal fat and the mammary gland). This gene has been postulated to play a role in lipogenesis, since it responds to thyroid hormone stimulation, high glucose levels and it is localized to a chromosomal region implicated in obesity. In this paper, we report the...
