Six1 promotes skeletal muscle thyroid hormone response through regulation of the MCT10 transporter
Abstract Background The Six1 transcription factor is implicated in controlling the development of several tissue types, notably skeletal muscle. Six1 also contributes to muscle metabolism and its activity is associated with the fast-twitch, glycolytic phenotype. Six1 regulates the expression of cert...
