MeSH Heading: Thyrotropin Alfa
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.631.525.883.374
Unique ID: D057073
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D057073
Scope Note: A highly purified recombinant glycoprotein form of human THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE, produced by recombinant DNA technology comprising two non-covalently linked subunits, an alpha subunit of 92 amino acid residues containing two N-linked glycosylation sites, and a beta subunit of 118 residues containing one N-linked glycosylation site. The amino acid sequence of thyrotropin alfa is identical to that of human pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone.
