Biological Activity of Activating Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Mutants Depends on the Cellular Context
20 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Activating TSH receptor (TSHR) mutations are a major cause of toxic thyroid adenoma and familial hyperthyroidism, and more than 37 such mutations have been described. Previously their functional activity had been assessed in terms of cAMP and inositol phosphate production and predominantly in transiently transfected COS-7 (monkey embryonic kidney cells), a model that does not reflect effects on thyrocyte...
