Product Specifications

Immunogen

Human thyrotropin.

Specificity

This antibody (clone TSH-116) reacts with human thyroid stimulating hormone (hTSH, thyrotropin), a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland cells in response to signals from the hypothalamus gland in the brain. The TSH-116 reacts with association constant 1.1 x 1011 l/mol. Following cross-reactivity expressed as binding of labelled hormone (% of total) was determined by solid phase RIA with excess of the antibody TSH-116: hTSH (78.9), hCG (20.3), hLH (23.2), hFSH (29.9).

Background: TSH beta

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is secreted from cells in the anterior pituitary called thyrotrophs, finds its receptors on epithelial cells in the thyroid gland, and stimulates that gland to synthesize and release thyroid hormones. TSH is a glycoprotein hormone composed of two subunits which are non-covalently bound to one another. The alpha subunit of TSH is also present in two other pituitary glycoprotein hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and, in primates, in the placental hormone chorionic gonadotropin. Each of these hormones also has a unique beta subunit, which provides receptor specificity. In other words, TSH is composed of alpha subunit bound to the TSH beta subunit, and TSH associates only with its own receptor. Free alpha and beta subunits have essentially no biological activity.
