Thyroid-stimulating antibodies

Thyroid-stimulating antibodies

A family of IgG immunoglobulins bind with TSH receptor sites (TRAbs) and activate TSH receptors on the follicular cell ) are 4 membrane. They have a more protracted action than TSH (16–24 versus 1.5–3 hours) and are responsible for virtually all cases of thyrotoxicosis not due to autonomous toxic nodules. Serum concentrations are very low but their measurement is not essential to make the diagnosis. Thyroid-stimulating antibodies
