Dominant negative effect of mutated thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (P556L) causes hypothyroidism in C.RF-Tshr(hyt/wild) mice.
C.RF-Tshr(hyt/hyt) mice have a mutated thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (P556L-TSHR) and these mice develop severe hypothyroidism. We found that C.RF-Tshr(hyt/wild) heterozygous mice are also in a hypothyroid state. Thyroid glands from C.RF-Tshr(hyt/wild) mice are smaller than those from wild-ty...
