Thyroid-stimulating hormone binding to cultured thyroid cells

Thyroid-stimulating Hormone Binding to Beef Thyroid Membranes

The effect of sugars on ‘*“I-thyroid-stimulating hormone binding to beef thyroid membranes was studied to determine their role in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) binding. At 0.1 M concentration, N-acetylneuraminic acid produced a 3to 7-fold increase in TSH binding, was the only sugar to enhance TSH binding, and did so whether binding was determined in the cyclase medium or under conditions of...

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor

Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) plays a pivotal role in thyroid hormone metabolism. It is a major controller of thyroid cell function and growth. Mutations in TSHR may lead to several thyroid diseases, most commonly hyperthyroidism. Although its genetic and epigenetic alterations do not directly lead to carcinogenesis, it has a crucial role in tumor growth, which is initiated by sev...

Thyroid-stimulating Hormone Binding to Beef Thyroid Membranes RELATIOK TO ADENYLATE CYCLASE ACTIVITY

Binding of [3H]thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and iz51-TSH to beef thyroid membranes was studied under conditions to give optimum binding. Binding was maximal at pH 5.5, was complete within 5 min, and was stable for at least 90 min at 0 and 22” for low and high TSH concentrations, respectively. At pH 7.5, two binding sites were found with apparent affinity constants of 2.2 to 3.1 X lo8 M-I a...
