蛋白名称
Thyrotropin receptor (Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor) (TSH-R)
免疫原
Synthesized peptide derived from human protein . at AA range: 280-360
特异性
TSHR Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
组成
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
纯化工艺
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
背景
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein and a major controller of thyroid cell metabolism. The encoded protein is a receptor for thyrothropin and thyrostimulin, and its activity is mediated by adenylate cyclase. Defects in this gene are a cause of several types of hyperthyroidism. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008],
功能
alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,disease:Autoantibodies directed against the TSH receptor are directly responsible for the pathogenesis and hyperthyroidism of Graves disease (GRD) [MIM:275000]. Antibody interaction with the TSH receptor results in an uncontrolled receptor stimulation.,disease:Defects in TSHR are a cause of hyperthyroidism [MIM:603372]. Various types are known: autosomal dominant non-autoimmune hyperthyroidism (ADNH); sporadic congenital hyperthyroidism (SCH); hyperthyroidism associated with autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN), toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) and hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas (HTA). TMNG encompasses a spectrum of different clinical entities, ranging from a single hyperfunctioning nodule within an enlarged thyroid, to multiple hyperfunctioning areas scattered throughout the gland. HTA are discrete encapsulated neoplas
