The c-erb-A protein is a high-affinity receptor for thyroid hormone

J Sap et al. Nature. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

Hormone binding and localization of the c-erb-A protein suggest that it is a receptor for thyroid hormone, a nuclear protein that binds to DNA and activates transcription. In contrast, the product of the viral oncogene v-erb-A is defective in binding the hormone but is still located in the nucleus.
