The Promoter of the Human Type I 5′‐Deiodinase Gene — Mapping of the Transcription Start Site and Identification of a DR+4 Thyroid‐Hormone‐Responsive Element
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The selenoenzyme thyroxine 5'-deiodinase type I deiodinates the prohormone thyroxine to the active thyroid hormone 3,3',5-triiodothyronine. It is thus one of the key enzymes involved in the triiodothyronine-mediated control of growth, differentiation and basal metabolism in vertebrates. We report here the identification of the transcription start site and the cloning of 1500 bases of the upstream regulatory...
