Zebrafish TRb Reporter Assay System

The principle application of this assay product is in the screening of test samples to quantify functional activities, either agonist or antagonist. This kit product is an all-inclusive assay system that includes, in addition to Reporter Cells, two optimized media for use during cell culture and (optionally) in diluting the test samples, a reference agonist, Luciferase Detection Reagent, a cell culture-ready assay plate, and a detailed protocol.Protein function: Nuclear hormone receptor that can act as a repressor or activator of transcription. High affinity receptor for the thyroid gland hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Transactivating activity is ligand-dependent, and is repressed in the absence of T3. [The UniProt Consortium]
