Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies involving chimeric thyrotropin-lutropin/choriogonadotropin (TSH-LH/CG) receptors suggest that multiple segments spanning the entire extracellular domain of the human TSH receptor contribute to the TSH binding site. Nevertheless, the mid-region (segment C, amino acid residues 171-260) of the receptor extracellular domain is particularly important in TSH binding. In the present studies, we...
