genes, erba (medicine)


genes, erba
Retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (erythroblastosis virus, avian, hence erba) originally isolated from the avian erythroblastosis virus. The c-erba proto-oncogene encodes the thyroid hormone receptors (receptors, thyroid hormone). Two distinct c-erba proto-oncogenes have been identified, erba-alpha and erba-beta, each giving rise to at least two proteins. Erba-alpha is located at 17q21 on the long arm of chromosome 17. Erba-beta is located at 3p24 on the short arm of chromosome 3. The v-erba oncogene potentiates cell transformation through inhibition of spontaneous differentiation of cells already transformed by the v-erbb gene and eliminates growth requirements of transformed erythroblasts.
