The Leucine Rich region (LRRD) is part of the <scene name='95/952708/Tshr_chainr_ecd/1'>ECD</scene> of TSHR. The highlighted region contains <scene name='95/952707/Lrr/3'>10-11 Leucine Repeats</scene> within the structure. The specific residues from TSHR interacting with TSH are <scene name='95/952707/Lrr/2'>K209 and K58</scene> <ref name="Duan et al.">PMID: 35940204</ref>.

This interaction is specific to TSH and TSHR. When other agonists or antagonists bind to the receptor, the change in conformation is a result of different residues interacting. The Leucine residues likely play a role in how the ECD folds and which residues are located on the exterior protein. As Leucine is hydrophobic, it would be forced into the interior of the protein during folding exposing other residues that are more hydrophilic and likely to interact externally. | ||
