Thyrotropin
Thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein hormone that binds to TSH receptors on thyroid follicular cells, stimulating thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, thyroid cell growth, and iodine uptake. Endogenous thyrotropin elevation is used as a stimulus for radioiodine therapy and thyroglobulin testing in differentiated thyroid cancer management. Elevated TSH is also associated with atrial fibrillation risk (in the context of hypothyroidism) and has effects on various tissues including breast.
