lüll Thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptors -- similarities and differences Sun Y; Lu X; Gershengorn MCJ Mol Endocrinol 2003[Apr]; 30 (2): 87-97Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) initiates its effects by interacting with cell-surface membrane receptors. Two G protein-coupled receptors for TRH, TRH receptor type 1 (TRH-R1) and TRH receptor type 2 (TRH-R2), have been cloned from mammals. In this review, we compare TRH-R1 and TRH-R2 with regard to their tIssue distribution, binding affinities for TRH and TRH analogs, basal and activated signaling activities and characteristics of internalization. TRH-R1 and TRH-R2 are distributed differently in the brain and peripheral tIssues, but exhibit indistinguishable binding affinities for TRH and TRH analogs. Although they both can be stimulated by TRH to similar maximal signaling levels, TRH-R2 exhibits higher basal signaling activity and is more rapidly internalized than TRH-R1. These differences in signaling and internalization properties are probably important in the distinct parts that TRH-R1 and TRH-R2 may play in mammalian physiology.|Animals[MESH]|Brain/anatomy & histology/metabolism[MESH]|GTP-Binding Proteins/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Protein Binding[MESH]|Protein Conformation[MESH]|Protein Isoforms/chemistry/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Receptors, Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone/chemistry/genetics/*metabolism[MESH]|Signal Transduction/*physiology[MESH]|Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone/analogs & derivatives/*metabolism[MESH]|Tissue Distribution[MESH] |
