Gene: THRA
Alternate names for this Gene: AR7|CHNG6|EAR7|ERB-T-1|ERBA|ERBA1|NR1A1|THRA1|THRA2|c-ERBA-1
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q21.1
Description of this Gene: thyroid hormone receptor alpha
