Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptors

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors are G_q/11-protein-coupled receptors that promote thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin (PRL) release. Two TRH receptor subtypes, TRH₁ and TRH₂, have been identified in rodents, but only the TRH₁ receptor has been found in humans. TRH₁ is predominantly expressed in the anterior pituitary gland, but is also found at appreciable levels in the brain, pancreas, testis, adrenals and lymphoid organs. The human gene encoding the TRH₁ receptor is located on chromosome 8q23.1.
