Hormone Selectivity in Thyroid Hormone Receptors
2001-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Separate genes encode thyroid hormone receptor subtypes TRα (NR1A1) and TRβ (NR1A2). Products from each of these contribute to hormone action, but the subtypes differ in tissue distribution and physiological response. Compounds that discriminate between these subtypes in vivo may be useful in treating important medical problems such as obesity and hypercholesterolemia. We previously determined the crystal structur...
