Thyrotropin and Homologous Glycoprotein Hormone Receptors: Structural and Functional Aspects of Extracellular Signaling Mechanisms
1 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The TSH receptor (TSHR) together with the homologous lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor and the follitropin receptor are glycoprotein hormone receptors (GPHRs). They constitute a subfamily of the rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors with seven transmembrane helices. GPHRs and their corresponding hormones are pivotal proteins with respect to a variety of physiological functions. The identification and...
