Abstract
Using a number of immunologic and biochemical approaches, we have identified a number of [125I]bTSH binding peptides with Mr approximately 45,000, 66,000-70,000, approximately 95,000; larger conjugates capable of binding the hormone have not been excluded. A conservative interpretation of the data suggest a basic receptor unit of Mr approximately 95,000 of which Mr 45,000 and 66,000-70,000 are proteolytic products of membrane-bound proteases. The association of two intact subunits by strong noncovalent forces may generate more than 3 TSH binding sites.
