Abstract excerpt
Study of molecular actions of thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRbeta) mutants in vivo has been facilitated by creation of a mouse model (TRbetaPV mouse) that harbors a knockin mutant of TRbeta (denoted PV). PV, which was identified in a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone, has lost T3 binding activity and transcription capacity. The striking phenotype of thyroid cancer exhibited by TRbeta(PV/PV) mice has...
