Description
TSH Receptor Monoclonal Antibody (49). The thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) receptor (TSHR) is expressed on the surface of thyrocyte cell membranes and is crucial for thyroid gland growth and function. TSHR's are targets for the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases including Graves' disease and primary myxedema. This 7-transmembrane-domain protein contains 5 potential extracellular N-linked glycosylation sites. Antibodies to TSHR can affect receptor function in a number of different ways. TSHR antibodies which can inhibit TSH binding to the receptor are called TSH binding inhibitor immunoglobulins or TBIIs.
