When TSHR is not bound to TSH, it is in the <scene name='95/952720/Inactivetshr/ | When TSHR is not bound to TSH, it is in the <scene name='95/952720/Inactivetshr/7'>inactive state</scene>. This is also considered the "down" state because the LRRD is pointing down. When TSH binds to TSHR, steric clashing between TSH and the cell-membrane cause TSHR to take on the <scene name='95/952720/Inactivetshr/6'>active or "up" state</scene>. During this transition, the Extracellular domains rotate 55° along an axis. This rotation is caused by conformational changes within the <scene name='95/952720/Hinge_region_spin/1'>Hinge Region</scene>, specifically at the Y279 residue. This residue moves 6 angstroms relative to I486, which is a residue located in the Transmembrane Region <ref name="Faust"/> | ||
