“…Upon T3 binding, TRs undergo a conformational change enabling activation or repression of the transcriptional machinery (Brent, 2012). TRα1 is specifically expressed in intestinal crypt cells (Kress et al, 2009(Kress et al, , 2010, in which it acts as a direct activator of Wnt (Kress et al, 2009;Plateroti et al, 2006) and Notch pathways (Sirakov et al, 2015), as well as of cell proliferation (Kress et al, 2009(Kress et al, , 2010Uchuya-Castillo et al, 2018). These data are consistent with the phenotype described in TRα-knockout animals or in TRα1overexpressing mice (Kress et al, 2009(Kress et al, , 2010Plateroti et al, 2001Plateroti et al, , 2006.…”
