High impact information on TSHB

  • Methionine 32 in TSH-beta can be modified with retention of full activity under conditions where methionines 8, 9, and 58 are not modified [1].
  • As thyroid hormone levels were preceded by maximal TSHbeta mRNA levels on e-19, we next determined whether TSHbeta gene expression on e-19 was under TRH and T3 regulation [2].
  • The objective of this study was to characterize expression of chicken TSHbeta messenger RNA (mRNA) compared with that of thyroid hormones and GH in embryonic and neonatal chickens [2].
  • We have concluded that the sensitivity of the pituitary thyrotropes to hypothalamic stimulation decreases throughout the last week of embryonic development, so that the higher expression of TSH-beta mRNA around E16-E19, and hence the increasing plasma thyroxine level, is unlikely to be the result of an increased stimulation by either TRH or CRH [3].
  • Development of thyroid-stimulating hormone beta subunit-producing cells in the chicken embryonic pituitary gland [4].
 

Biological context of TSHB

  • The amino acid sequence of chicken TSH beta subunit is highly conserved (98.5%) between chicken and Japanese quail, whereas it has a low homology between chicken and mammals (67-69%), an amphibian (58%) and fish (40-49%) [5].
 

Anatomical context of TSHB

 

Associations of TSHB with chemical compounds

  • In experiment 2, our objective was to determine if thyroid inhibition would result in a detectable change in TSHbeta mRNA and alterations in the pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) or indices of gonadal function [7].
 

Regulatory relationships of TSHB

  • RT-PCR also showed that TSHbeta mRNA was expressed from E9 and that Pit-1 mRNA was expressed from E5 [4].
 

Other interactions of TSHB

  • Therefore, a semiquantitative RT-PCR method was used to detect possible changes in GH and TSHbeta mRNA levels [8].
  • TRH affected both the GH and TSHbeta mRNA levels [8].
  • Consistent with cellular ontogeny, TSHbeta mRNA increased steadily between e10 and e17, GH mRNA increased between e12 and e17, and PRL mRNA did not increase until e17 [9].
