GlossaryThyroid Hormone Receptors (THR)

proteins in cells that bind thyroid hormones to regulate genes

Thyroid Hormone Receptors (THRs) are proteins found in cells that bind to thyroid hormones, which are crucial for regulating metabolism, growth, and development. When thyroid hormones attach to these receptors, they influence the expression of specific genes, thereby affecting various physiological processes. This interaction is essential for maintaining normal metabolic function and can impact conditions like alopecia if disrupted.
