متن کاملRelationship of thyrotropin to exophthalmos-producing substance. Formation of an exophthalmos-producing substance by pepsin digestion of pituitary glycoproteins containing both thyrotropic and exophthalmogenic activity.
Homogeneous bovine pituitary glycoproteins with both thyrotropic and exophthalmogenic activity have been subjected to limited proteolysis by pepsin. One fraction lost 90 % of its thyrotropin action, but only 15 % of its exophthalmogenic activity, when incubated with a 1% weight ratio of pepsin at pH 2.2 and at 3’7”. Analytical disc gel analyses showed that the decrease in thyrotropin activity c...
