Abstract excerpt
The TSH receptor (TSHR) activates mainly two signal transduction pathways, cAMP production and phosphoinositide turnover, mediated by Gs and Gq coupling, respectively. Several activating deletion and point mutations within intracellular loop 3 (ICL3) and the adjacent portion of transmembrane domain 6 (TM6) support a direct G protein activation by this receptor domain. The ICL3, however, is predicted by modeling...
