Liganded T3 receptor β2 inhibits the positive feedback autoregulation of the gene for GATA2, a transcription factor critical for thyrotropin production.

The serum concentration of thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) is drastically reduced by small increase in the levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and its prohormone, T4); however, the mechanism underlying this relationship is unknown.
