60. During a study of thyroid hormone function, an experimental line of mice is genetically engineered. The line of mice is tested for the synthesis, storage, and release of triiodothyronine (T) and thyroxine (T). Results show no abnormalities. However, the mice display findings consistent with hypothyroidism. The inability of these mice to respond to T, and T, is most likely caused by a defect in which of the following receptors? A) Cytokine receptor-linked kinase OB) G protein-coupled C) Nuclear DNA-bound D) Serine kinase E) Tyrosine kinase
