Gene: TRHR

Alternate names for this Gene: CHNG7|TRH-R

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a G protein-coupled receptor for thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Upon binding to TRH, this receptor activates the inositol phospholipid-calcium-protein kinase C transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been associated with generalized thyrotropin-releasing hormone resistance.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q23.1

Description of this Gene: thyrotropin releasing hormone receptor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
