The Role of PRAJA2 in TSH- or Isoproterenol- Stimulated Lipolysis in Human Adipocytes

Thyrotropin (TSH) binds to TSH receptors on thyrocytes to regulate development and growth of the thyroid gland, and to stimulate thyroid hormone production. Thyrotropin has also been shown to act in an extra-thyroidal fashion, and to engage TSH receptors on adipocytes to induce lipolysis, similar to...
