Protein function (UniProt)

Thyroid hormone receptor alpha

Nuclear hormone receptor that can act as a repressor or activator of transcription. High affinity receptor for thyroid hormones, including triiodothyronine and thyroxine

Curated MONDO disease pages that list THRA among their top associated genes.
