MSH: Cell surface proteins that bind pituitary THYROTROPIN (also named thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH) and trigger intracellular changes of the target cells. TSH receptors are present in the nervous system and on target cells in the thyroid gland. Autoantibodies to TSH receptors are implicated in thyroid diseases such as GRAVES DISEASE and Hashimoto disease (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE).,NCI: Thyrotropin receptor (764 aa, 87 kD) is a cell division process protein that is encoded by the human TSHR gene and has roles in cell proliferation and signal transduction.
