Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) plays a pivotal role in thyroid hormone metabolism. It is a major controller of thyroid cell function and growth. Mutations in TSHR may lead to several thyroid diseases, most commonly hyperthyroidism. Although its genetic and epigenetic alterations do not directly lead to carcinogenesis, it has a crucial role in tumor growth, which is initiated by several oncogenes. This article will provide a brief review of TSHR and related diseases.
促甲状腺激素受体(TSHR)在甲状腺激素代谢中起关键作用。它是甲状腺细胞功能和生长的主要调控者。TSHR的突变可能导致多种甲状腺疾病,最常见的是甲状腺功能亢进。尽管其基因和表观遗传改变不会直接导致癌变,但它在由多种癌基因引发的肿瘤生长中起关键作用。本文将简要综述TSHR及相关疾病。
