A portion of amino acids 18-48 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the THRSP antibody.
Thyroid hormone-inducible hepatic protein plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis, especially in lactating mammary gland. Important for the biosynthesis of triglycerides with medium-length fatty acid chains. May modulate lipogenesis by interacting with MID1IP1 and preventing its interaction with ACACA (By similarity). May function as transcriptional coactivator. May modulate the transcription factor activity of THRB.
