Affinity purification

Thyroid stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin or TSH) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by thyrotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland. The TSH receptor (TSHR), mainly expressed on the thyroid epithelial cells, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) of the seven-transmembrane domain family and plays a central role in controlling thyroid cell metabolism. The gene of TSHR maps to chromosome 14q31.1, and encodes a 764-amino acid protein with a predicted unmodified molecular weight of 86.8 kDa. The apparent molecular weight of glycosylated form is 95-120 kDa. Studies reveal that TSHR is composed of two subunits, A and B, which are produced by cleavage of single-chain TSHR on the cell surface and subsequently connected by disulfide bonds. This rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against N-terminal region (1-243 aa) of human TSHR can detect subunit A with an experimentally determined molecular weight of 62-70 kDa under reducing condition.
