Thyroid hormone receptor beta is required for thyrotrpin regulation and thyroid hormone production.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) is post-translationally modified by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO). To investigate the biological role of THRB sumoylation, we generated a mouse model with a mutation that disrupts sumoylation at lysine 146 (K146Q). The THRB K146Q mutant mice had normal serum thyroxine (T4), markedly elevated serum thyrotropin (TSH) (81-fold above control), and enlargement of both the pituitary and the thyroid gland. The marked elevation in TSH, despite a normal serum T4 concentration, indicated blunted feedback regulation of TSH. TH profuction was 10-fold lower (per mg of thyroid tissue) in mutant mice compared to Wt mice.
