<scene name='95/952708/M22_edited/ | <scene name='95/952708/M22_edited/3'>M22</scene> is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_antibody monoclonal antibody] that was isolated from a patient with [https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/endocrine-diseases/graves-disease Graves' Disease]. In Graves' disease, TSHR autoantibodies like M22 mimic TSH function and cause thyroid overactivity. <ref name="Miguel"> doi:10.1677/JME-08-0152</ref>. The M22 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoantibody autoantibody] activates TSHR by causing a membrane clash with the ECD and cell membrane, keeping the TSHR in the active state by preventing the TSHR from rotating to the inactive state (Figure 2). This autoantibody mimics TSH action and binding to TSHR resulting in a potent activator for TSHR. <ref name="Faust"> DOI:10.1038/s41586-022-05159-1</ref> Although M22 binds in a similar manner to TSH, there is a key difference in binding between the two that can reveal the function of the hinge region (GREEN LINK). M22 does not make interactions with the hinge region when bound to TSHR, whereas TSH bound to TSHR does.<ref name="Faust"> DOI:10.1038/s41586-022-05159-1</ref> This finding shows that the hinge region is not necessary for the activation of TSHR, and leads to the discovery of other methods of activation.
