3,3′,5-Triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) induces embryonic ζ-globin expression via thyroid hormone receptor α
Abstract The human ζ-globin gene (HBZ) is transcribed in primitive erythroid cells only during the embryonic stages of development. Reactivation of this embryonic globin synthesis would likely alleviate symptoms both in α-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease. However, the molecular mechanisms control...
