A Mechanism for Pituitary-Resistance to Thyroid Hormone (PRTH) Syndrome: a Loss in Cooperative Coactivator Contacts by Thyroid Hormone Receptor (TR)β2
26 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone receptors (TR) are hormone-modulated transcription factors that regulate overall metabolic rate, lipid utilization, heart rate, and development. TR are expressed as a mix of interrelated receptor isoforms. The TRβ2 isoform is expressed in the hypothalamus and pituitary, where it plays an important role in the feedback regulation of thyroid hormone levels. TRβ2 exhibits unique transcriptional...
