Official Full Name: thyroid stimulating hormone subunit beta
Also known as: TSH-B; TSH-BETA
The Four Human GlyCoprotein Hormones Chorionic Gonadotropin (CG), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), FolLICLE Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TS H) Are Dimers consisting of Alpha and Beta Subunits that are associated noncovalently. The alpha subunits of these hormones are identical, however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity. Thyroid-stimulating hormone has the function of controlling the structure and metabolism of the thyroid gland. The protein encoded by this gene is the beta subunit of thyrotropin. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital central and secondary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
