This signal is called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). As the name implies, this hormone stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone and to grow in size. This abnormal growth in size produces what is termed a âgoiter.â Thus, iodine deficiency is one cause of goiter development. Wherever iodine deficiency is common, goiter will be common.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) TSH (also known as thyrotropin) is a glycoprotein consisting of: a beta chain of 118 amino acids and. an alpha chain of 92 amino acids. The alpha chain is identical to that found in two other pituitary hormones, FSH and LH as well as in the hormone chorionic gonadotropin.
