Gene information for TSHR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7253
Official gene symbolTSHR
Full namethyroid stimulating hormone receptor
Aliases,CHNG1,LGR3,MGC75129,hTSHR-I,
Gene summaryThe 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]
