Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha 1/2 / Unconjugated /

Product Details

Description	Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (TR alpha), a NR1 Thyroid Hormone-Like Receptor, mediates the diverse actions of thyroid hormone in development, differentiation, and metabolism. Four protein isoforms are encoded by the same TR alpha genomic locus: TR alpha1 (410 aa) (Nakai et al. 1988), TR alpha2 (490 aa) ( Nakai et al. 1988), TR deltaalpha1 (~154 aa), and TR deltaalpha2 (~237 aa); however, only TR alpha1 is able to bind the ligand ( Lazar et al. 1988).

About Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha 1/2
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]
