TR11 Differential TSH receptor signaling induced by luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) shares structural homology with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and contributes to thyroid hormone production during pregnancy through activation of the TSH receptor (TSHR). Although hCG and luteinizing hormone (LH) bind the same receptor (LHCGR), their effects on TSHR signali...
