A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
Thyrotropin has been studied across 16 research domains including 🧬 Hormones, 🔬 Oncology, 🧠 Focus & Attention, 🌤️ Mood & Depression, 🔥 Metabolic. The primary research focus is 🧬 Hormones with 54% of studies addressing this area.
