    basic FUNCTION
  • essential for inner ear development and color vision
  • tumor suppressor in thyroid tissue, whose inactivation through aberrant methylation may be a relevant event in the tumorigenesis of differentiated thyroid cancer, particularly follicular thyroid cancer
  • role (direct and/or indirect) in chromatin remodeling that leads to permanent gene silencing in terminally differentiated, dorsal cone photoreceptors
  • regulates important events of cerebellar ontogenesis contributing to a better understanding of some neuroendocrine disorders
  • THRB and NCOA4 regulate terminal erythrocyte differentiation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • necessary for dorsal repression, but not ventral activation of S opsin (OPN1SW)
  • Zn-finger region of GATA2 (GATA2-Zf) has an important role in down-regulation of the thyrotropin gene (TSHB) by liganded thyroid hormone receptor (THRB)
  • thyroid hormone (TH), a regulator of hepatic gluconeogenesis acts through its nuclear receptor (THRA, THRB) to induce the expression of PCK1 and G6PC
