Target Details for TSHB

Target: TSHB (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, beta (TSHB))

Alternative Name: Thyrotropin beta Chain

Background: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH or thyrotropin) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland. TSH is a glycoprotein and consists of two subunits, the alpha and the beta subunit. The alpha subunit is identical to that of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The beta subunit is unique to TSH, and therefore determines its function.Synonyms: TSH, TSH beta, TSHB, Thyroid-stimulating hormone subunit beta, Thyrotropin subunit beta
