Abstract

L-CPT I isotype is the main locus of control for liver LCFA oxidation. T3 levels have been described as controlling L-CPT I gene expression, and in this paper we demonstrate that rat liver CPT I promoter responds to T3. Using deleted reporter constructs we located the thyroid hormone-responsive element between −2935 and −2918, consisting of a DR4. This response is mediated by the binding of the thyroid to this sequence as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with RXR.
