Application: | Thyrotropic hormone from bovine pituitary has been used: • to induce cAMP production in orbital fibroblasts. • as a component in Dulbecco modified eagle medium (DME) H-21:F-12 media. • for TSH stimulation test for assessing the thyroid gland function after nonthyroidal illness (NTI) induction. • for studying the thyrotropin involvement in photoperiodic signal transduction in mice. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Thyrotropin/thyroid-stimu |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Two-chain glycoprotein hormone. The α-chain is not active, biological specificity attributed rather to the β-chain. Activates adenylate cyclase in the thyroid gland, stimulating iodine uptake, thyroxine synthesis and release. Goitrogenic. |
