| Research Abstract |
Thyrostimulin is a novel glycoprotein hormone from anterior pituitary that regulates various endocrine organs including thyroid, adrenal gland, and reproductive glands. We found inflammatory cytokines up-regulated GPB5 (one of the subunit composing heterodimeric thyrostimulin) that suggest the hormone is involved in the stress response. Also GPB5 co-localize with ACTH in the anterior pituitary cells in higher mammalian species including ovine, porcine, bovine, and human.
