title: Structure of the porcine thyrotropin receptor: a 200 kilodalton glycoprotein heterocomplex.
abstract: We have determined that the porcine thyroidal TSH receptor is a glycoprotein heterotetramer composed of two Mr approximately 35,000 (epsilon) covalently linked subunits which interact noncovalently with two copies of delta (Mr 66,000) chains.
