Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is one of several nuclear hormone receptors that bind thyroid hormones such as triiodothyronine and thyroxine with high affinity. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that can activate or repress transcription. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]. |
