BIOL 2490A - Nuclear Hormone Receptors in Growth, Differentiation and Disease

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Key developmental and homeostatic hormones such as steroid hormones (e.g. estrogen, testosterone, glucocorticoids), and lipophilic non-steroids (e.g. retinoic acid, thyroid hormone) act through receptors that directly bind DNA and control gene expression. This course examines the activities, structures, functions, and mechanisms of action of these Nuclear Hormone Receptors and the consequences of alterations in protein or hormone function. Approaches span genetics, biochemistry, genomics, proteomics, and developmental biology.
