Preparation and Storage

Background: TSHR

Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSH R; also thyrotropin receptor) is an 85 kDa (unglycosylated) member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Human TSH R is synthesized as a 764 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 20 aa signal sequence, a 393 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 269 aa membrane spanning domain consisting of seven transmembrane segments, and an 82 aa cytoplasmic domain. The ECD contains six leucine-rich repeats (LRR) and six potential sites of N-linked glycosylation. There are two isoforms, long and short, produced by a splicing variant corresponding to aa 253-764 in the long isoform that is missing in the short isoform. Human TSH R is 86-87% aa identical to mouse and rat TSH R. TSH R is the receptor for thyroid stimulating hormone, which plays a central role in controlling thyroid cell metabolism.
