Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha / Unconjugated / Polyclonal

Product Details

Description	Thyroid hormone receptor alpha is a nuclear hormone receptor with high affinity for the hormone triiodo-thyronine. THRA is one of the several receptors for thyroid hormone, and has been shown to mediate the biological activities of thyroid hormone. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the different receptors, while having a certain extent of redundancy, may mediate different functions of thyroid hormone. THRA interacts with NCOA3 and NCOA6 co-activators, leading to a strong increase in transcription of target genes. THRA is localized within the nucleus and has been found to exist as 4 isoforms originating from alternative splicing variants. This antibody recognizes THRA isoform 1. Isoform 1 has a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 2.

About Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha
The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear hormone receptor for triiodothyronine. It is one of the several receptors for thyroid hormone, and has been shown to mediate the biological activities of thyroid hormone. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the different receptors, while having certain extent of redundancy, may mediate different functions of thyroid hormone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
