Exophthalmogenic activity of the beta subunit of thyrotropin.
The exophthalmogenic activity of the beta subunit of bovine thyrotropin is only 10% to 20% that of the thyrotropin molecule or of an exophthalmogenic factor produced by partial pepsin digestion of purified thyrotropin preparations. The alpha subunit of thyrotropin, luteinizing hormone, and both subunits of luteinizing hormone have no exophthalmogenic activity.
