A Novel Retinoid X Receptor-Independent Thyroid Hormone Response Element Is Present in the Human Type 1 Deiodinase Gene
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
We identified two thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) in the 2.5-kb, 5'-flanking region of the human gene encoding type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase (hdio1), an enzyme which catalyses the activation of thyroxine to 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3). Both TREs contribute equally to T3 induction of the homologous promoter in transient expression assays. The proximal TRE (TRE1), which is located at bp -100, has an...
