Gene information for TSHB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7252
Official gene symbolTSHB
Full namethyroid stimulating hormone, beta
Aliases,TSH-BETA,
Gene summaryThe four human glycoprotein hormones chorionic gonadotropin (CG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are dimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits that are associated noncovalently. The alpha subunits of these hormones are identical, however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity. Thyroid stimulating hormone functions in the control of thyroid structure and metabolism. The protein encoded by this gene is the beta subunit of thyroid stimulating hormone. Mutations in this gene result in congenital hypothyroidism.
