Also known as SPOT14LpgpS14THRP

Summary

THRSP (thyroid hormone responsive, HGNC:11800) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q14.1, encoding Thyroid hormone-inducible hepatic protein (Q92748). Plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis, especially in lactating mammary gland.

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the gene product of S14, a rat gene whose expression is limited to liver and adipose tissue and is controlled by nutritional and hormonal factors. This gene has been shown to be expressed in liver and adipocytes, particularly in lipomatous modules. It is also found to be expressed in lipogenic breast cancers, which suggests a role in controlling tumor lipid metabolism.
