Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an inbred non-human transgenic animal having a multimeric nuclear hormone receptor, comprising a thyroid hormone receptor subunit and a nuclear hormone receptor subunit, wherein either or both the thyroid hormone receptor subunit and a nuclear hormone receptor subunits are mutated such that expression of said multimeric nuclear hormone receptor results in a measurable phenotype. The disclosure also contemplates methods of making inbred non-human transgenic animals. Methods of using the disclosed inbred non-human transgenic animals as models for various diseases and for screening small molecules that are determined to be efficacious in the treatment of such diseases are also disclosed.
