Part:BBa_K2404000
A Thyroid Stimulating Hormone antagonist without His-Tags
This is a coding sequence of a gene that produces a protein that competitively inhibits thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). It also inhibits auto-immune antibodies that result in Graves' disease. This protein is modified to contain a linker region between two sub units. These sub units are the alpha sub unit which is shared between many human hormones including some sex hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and the beta sub unit which is specific to TSH. These sub units have been joined in this modified protein by a CTD linker to produce one protein that mimics natural TSH in the body. However, the TSH antagonist lacks glycosylation groups that usually exist on both sub units. This antagonist binds to the TSH receptor but does not activate it as a result. This part would be useful when used as the coding sequence of a gene construct to create a drug that treats hyperthyroidism. This part is contained within the pSB1C3 plasmid.
