Background
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is to regulate thyroid gland activity by stimulating the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) has emerged as a valuable tool in clinical practice, particularly in the management of thyroid disorders and in diagnostic procedures involving the thyroid gland. This paper aims to provide an overview of research on rhTSH, including its mechanism of action, activity, and therapeutic applications. The mechanism of action of rhTSH involves binding to the TSH receptor (TSHR) on the surface of thyroid follicular cells. This interaction activates intracellular signalling pathways, including cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and protein kinase A (PKA) activation. These pathways stimulate various cellular processes within thyroid follicular cells, such as iodine uptake, thyroid hormone synthesis, and secretion.
