Specifications
Target Information
Like its mammalian counterpart, fish thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a glycoprotein composed of a unique β subunit (TSHβ) and a common α subunit (GSUα). TSH functions by binding to TSH receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors located on the basal membrane of thyroid follicles. In mammals, TSH promotes the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones by activating adenylate cyclase, which increases the production of cAMP. TSH function in fish can be hypothesized to be similar to mammals in maintaining metabolic homeostasis, primarily by regulating the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones.
