The c-erb-A gene encodes a thyroid hormone receptor

Nature. 1986 Dec;324(6098):641-6. doi: 10.1038/324641a0.

Abstract

The cDNA sequence of human c-erb-A, the cellular counterpart of the viral oncogene v-erb-A, indicates that the protein encoded by the gene is related to the steroid hormone receptors. Binding studies with the protein show it to be a receptor for thyroid hormones.
