Post Translational Modifications | Glycosylated. Sulfated. Sulfation on Tyr-385 plays a role in thyrotropin receptor binding and activation. |
Function | Receptor for the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin. Also acts as a receptor for the heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (GPHA2:GPHB5) or thyrostimulin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Plays a central role in controlling thyroid cell metabolism. |
