Thyroid gangliosides with high affinity for thyrotropin: potential role in thyroid regulation

B R Mullin et al. Science. .

Abstract

Thyroid cell membranes contain a multiplicity of gangliosides, some of which inhibit thyrotropin binding to thyroid membranes. The most potent inhibitor is a ganglioside which is present in only trace amounts and appears to have a novel structure. Thyroid gangliosides may play a role in relaying the hormonal message to the thyroid cell.
