epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-138 representing full length TSHβ of human origin
Modification Notes
Various hormones are secreted from the anterior pituitary during development and growth, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, also known as thyrotropin), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH). TSH, FSH, and LH are heterodimers formed from a common å chain and a unique ∫ chain. TSH is a glycoprotein involved in the control of thyroid structure and metabolism, which stimulates the release of the thyroid hormones. TSH∫ is regulated by thyroid hormone (T3) and various retinoid compounds. TSH∫ binds to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), which plays a major role in regulating thyroid function. TSHR is thought to exist in multiple glycosylation states. The third cytoplasmic loop of TSHR has been identified as critical for its role in regulating inositol phosphate and cAMP formation.
