The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones, which are essential regulators of growth, development and metabolism of the body and is mainly regulated by the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)/TSH receptor (TSHR) interplay. The TSHR couples to all four G protein families in vitro but only for the Gs and Gq signaling cascade a role has been identified in vivo. To gain further insights into the complex signaling networks mediated by G proteins in the thyroid, we generated...
