Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, the active form of thyroid hormone (T3) acts directly on transcription by changing the conformation of the TR nuclear receptors (TR alpha 1, TR beta 1 et TR beta 2) which are encoded by the THRA and THRB genes. These receptors are bound to DNA at specific response elements in a ligand independent manner. Mouse genetics have clarified the respective function of each receptor isoform, mainly...
