Abstract excerpt
The thyroid hormone receptor splice variant, alpha2, is unable to bind thyroid hormone (T3) and has been proposed to function as an endogenous inhibitor of T3 action. In this report, we examined further the DNA sequence requirements for alpha2 binding to thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) i...
