Receptors, Thyroid Hormone

Topical Descriptor

Thyroid Hormone Receptor
Thyroid Hormone Receptors

coordinate with specific thyroid hormone

Specific high affinity binding proteins for THYROID HORMONES in target cells. They are usually found in the nucleus and regulate DNA transcription. These receptors are activated by hormones that leads to transcription, cell differentiation, and growth suppression. Thyroid hormone receptors are encoded by two genes (GENES, ERBA): erbA-alpha and erbA-beta for alpha and beta thyroid hormone receptors, respectively.

History note

87; PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN ERBA was (NM) 1987-93
