Identification of a receptor for the morphogen retinoic acid

Nature. 1987 Dec;330(6149):624-9. doi: 10.1038/330624a0.

Abstract

Analysis of complementary DNA encoding a novel gene product reveals striking similarity to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. Binding and transcription activational studies show it to be a receptor for the vitamin A-related morphogen retinoic acid.
