TSH is a hormone also known as "thyrotropin". It is a member of the Glycoprotein Hormone Family or GHF(like hormones LH, FSH or hCG). TSH regulates the growth and the function of thyroid follicular cells by stimulating the secretion of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. These play an important role in human reproduction, metabolism and cellular development. Therefore, this class of receptors is central to medical, pharmaceutical, and biological research.
