Tshb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable hormone activity. Involved in response to calcium ion; response to estrogen; and response to vitamin A. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 4 and hypothyroidism. Orthologous to human TSHB (thyroid stimulating hormone subunit beta).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Tshb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Glycoprotein hormone beta chain homologues
- hormone
