Definition
English
:
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.
