A HEK293 cell line that expresses firefly luciferase under the control of the GAL4 upstream activation sequence (UAS) and stably expresses the human thyroid receptor β ligand binding domain (TRβ LBD, amino acids 173-461) fused to the DNA binding domain (DBD) of GAL4 (GAL4 DBD). This system allows for the specific detection of thyroid hormone-induced activation of the thyroid receptor β with minimal cross-reactivity from other nuclear receptors. The cell line has been validated through stimulation with triiodothyronine (T-3).
