Abstract
Isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding Thyroid Receptor-Associated Proteins (TRAPS) are provided. TRAPS are members of protein complexes that bind to nuclear hormone receptors in a ligand-dependent manner so that the receptor, upon activation by a corresponding hormone, regulates the transcription of a particular gene. Also provided are methods of replicating and expressing such isolated nucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions comprising TRAPS, and methods of modulating gene expression via administration of therapeutically effective amounts of such pharmaceutical compositions.
