TSH hormone or in our case the autoantibody M22 binds to its receptor (more precisely to LRD). This binding actives the receptor and then small G-proteins coupled to the receptor. The alpha subunit stimulates enzymes of the cellular membrane. A cascade of reactions and second messengers pathways are involved and result in the stimulation and the synthesis of thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
