Abstract excerpt
TSH receptor mutants in the VI transmembrane segment, found in thyroid autonomously functioning adeonomas, have been expressed in differentiated thyroid cells. All mutant receptors constitutively stimulated adenylyl cyclase. The biological activity, measured as cAMP production relative to the wild type receptor, was specific for each mutant in transient and stable transfection assays. Cells expressing these...
