TSHR

Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is also known as Thyrotropin receptor and LGR3. TSHR is glycosylated receptor for the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin. Also acts as a receptor for the heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (GPHA2:GPHB5) or thyrostimulin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Plays a central role in controlling thyroid cell metabolism.
