  • DNA encoding a pituitary-specific thyroid hormone receptor
    Patent number: 5284999
    Abstract: The invention relates to the purification and cloning of a receptor for thyroid hormone. The receptor is designated PSTHR and is related to hormone receptors encoded by the genes erbA.alpha.-1, erbaA.alpha.-2 and erbA.beta.-1. The gene encoding PSTHR, erbA.beta.-2, is partially homologous to the erbA.beta.-1. However, PSTHR differs from the product of erbA.beta.-1 in that its expression is limited to the anterior pituitary gland. The invention additionally concerns the uses for PSTHR in the diagnosis and therapy of human conditions.
