Area of Science:

  • Molecular Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Context:

  • Thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR) research has advanced significantly since the cloning of its cDNAs.
  • TRHR is identified as a G-protein coupled receptor with seven transmembrane domains.

Purpose:

  • To synthesize recent evidence on the structure, genetics, and function of the TRH receptor.
  • To highlight novel findings including gene mutations and transcript variations.

Summary:

  • The human TRHR gene, located on chromosome 8q23, comprises three exons and two introns.
  • Recent studies elucidate TRHR's primary structure, mRNA distribution, binding pocket, promoter region, and G-protein interactions.
  • A case of central hypothyroidism due to TRHR gene mutations and a novel pituitary TRHR transcript are reported.
