Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH or thyrotropin) is a peptide hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland. TSH is a useful marker in the classification of pituitary adenomas and the differential identification of primary and metastatic tumors of the pituitary. TSH secreting pituitary adenomas are a very rare cause of hyperthyroidism.
