What is Thyrotropin (TSH)?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone is a glycoprotein produced by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary. It binds the TSH receptor (TSHR) on thyroid follicular cells, activating cAMP/PKA signaling to stimulate thyroglobulin synthesis, iodide uptake (NIS), and T3/T4 hormone release. Essential compound for hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis research.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does TSH stimulate in the thyroid?
TSH activates thyroid follicular cells to: (1) increase iodide uptake via NIS transporter, (2) synthesize thyroglobulin, (3) produce and release T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), (4) promote thyroid cell growth.
