Encyclopedia > Thyroid hormone receptor

There are actually three functional thyroid hormone receptors designated alpha1, beta1 and beta2.

Steroid hormone receptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (812 words)
Steroid hormone receptors are part of the nuclear receptor family that include a group of homologous structured receptors (type II receptors) that bind to non-steroid ligands such as thyroid hormones and vitamin A, as well as to vitamin D, and orphan receptors.
Such receptors are closely related to chaperones (namely heat shock proteins hsp90 and hsp56), which are required to maintain their inactive (but receptive) cytoplasmic conformation.
The hormone response elements (HRE) for steroid hormone receptors are DNA sequences with the structure of a pair of palindrome or tandem sequences often separated by three nucleotides.
THE THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR (3827 words)
The thyroid adjusts rapidly to the current level of TSH (228) and cyclic AMP generation and intracellular concentration is instantaneously regulated by the level of receptor occupancy (229).
Mutant TSH receptor constructs devoid of the ectodomain displayed a phenotype compatible with partial activation, thus confirming the inhibitory effect of the ectodomain on the serpentine portion already suggested by the partial activation of the receptor by a trypsin treatment.
Acute desensitization of the receptor in the presence of TSH, presumably by phosphorylation, is weak and delayed (264).
