Biological Context

Structured terms, selected from a drop-down menu, are used to identify the level of biological organization for each KE. More help

The location/biological environment in which the event takes place.The biological context describes the location/biological environment in which the event takes place. For molecular/cellular events this would include the cellular context (if known), organ context, and species/life stage/sex for which the event is relevant. For tissue/organ events cellular context is not applicable. For individual/population events, the organ context is not applicable.

Key Event Components

The KE, as defined by a set structured ontology terms consisting of a biological process, object, and action with each term originating from one of 14 biological ontologies (Ives, et al., 2017; https://aopwiki.org/info_pages/2/info_linked_pages/7#List). Biological process describes dynamics of the underlying biological system (e.g., receptor signalling).Biological process describes dynamics of the underlying biological system (e.g., receptor signaling). The biological object is the subject of the perturbation (e.g., a specific biological receptor that is activated or inhibited). Action represents the direction of perturbation of this system (generally increased or decreased; e.g., ‘decreased’ in the case of a receptor that is inhibited to indicate a decrease in the signaling by that receptor). Note that when editing Event Components, clicking an existing Event Component from the Suggestions menu will autopopulate these fields, along with their source ID and description. To clear any fields before submitting the event component, use the 'Clear process,' 'Clear object,' or 'Clear action' buttons. If a desired term does not exist, a new term request may be made via Term Requests. Event components may not be edited; to edit an event component, remove the existing event component and create a new one using the terms that you wish to add.

Key Event Description

A description of the biological state being observed or measured, the biological compartment in which it is measured, and its general role in the biology should be provided. More help

Thyroid hormone receptors (TR) are a nuclear receptors that are activitated by binding of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The majority of TH bound to TR being T3 due to its 10-fold higher affinity. Bound receptors, homodimerized or heterodimerized with retinoic acid, bind to thyroid response elements and regulate gene expression by either increasing or decreasing tragent gene transcription activity. Important to note is ligand free TR can form complexes with corepressors to inhibit gene expression. There are two major thyroid hormone receptor subtypes, thyroid receptor alpha(TRα) and thyroid receptor beta (TRβ). There are two subtypes for each, TRb1, TRb2, TRa1, and TRa2. Notably, the carboxy-terminal structure of TRalpha2 prevents hormone binding and transscription (Sinha and Yen, 2018). There are a large number of genes regualated by TH. These include genes involved in

Both TRa and TRb are known to be expressed during neurodevelopment (ref).
