More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Cell surface receptors that bind thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Activated TRH receptors in the anterior pituitary stimulate the release of thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH); TRH receptors on neurons mediate neurotransmission by TRH.  DF: RECEPT TRH    Other names Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone Receptors; Thyroliberin Receptors; TRH Receptors; Receptors, Thyroliberin; Receptors, TRH; Receptors, Protirelin; Protirelin Receptors; Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptors; Receptors, Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone; Receptor, TRH; Receptor, Protirelin; Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone Receptor; TRH Receptor; Protirelin Receptor
