Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The molecular mechanisms of TSH receptor (TSHR) activation and intramolecular signal transduction are largely unknown. Deletion of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the TSHR results in increased constitutive activity, which suggests a self-inhibitory interaction between the ECD and the extracellular loops (ECLs) or the transmembrane domains (TMDs). To investigate these potential interactions and to...
