TSH beta Proteins and Enzymes

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), also known as Thyrotropin, is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone. It is composed of a unique beta subunit and a common alpha subunit which is shared with Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, and Chorionic Gonadotropin.

TSH binds to the TSH Receptor in the thyroid gland to stimulate production of ...
