MeSH Heading: Thyrotropin
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.631.525.883; D12.644.548.691.525.883
Unique ID: D013972
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013972
Annotation: for alpha subunit, coord with GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES, ALPHA SUBUNIT; THYROTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT is also available
Scope Note: A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
