Anti-Human TSHR Polyclonal Antibody

Thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) is a ~86 kDa protein. Receptor for the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin. Also acts as a receptor for the heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (GPHA2:GPHB5) or thyrostimulin. TSHR is coupled to G(s) proteins and mediates the activation of adenylate cyclase. This leads to the generation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which in turn activates protein kinase A (PKA). PKA subsequently phosphorylates downstream targets involved in thyroid hormone biosynthesis and secretion, including thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS).
