The TSHR protein exists in two states: active and inactive (Figure 2). The <scene name='95/952708/Tshr_chainr/4'>TSHR active form</scene> exists when bound to the <scene name='95/952708/Tsh_7t9i/1'>TSH</scene>. One proposed mechanism for the transition from the active to inactive describes that in a natural state, the TSHR ECD can spontaneously transition to the up state, leading to constitutive activity. In this active state, TSH will bind and keep the active state in the up position because of clash with the cell membrane.<ref name="Faust" /> Conformational change of ECD allows for signal transduction through the TM and into the cell. The ECD rotates 55 degrees up in the active form. <ref name="Faust" /> | The TSHR protein exists in two states: active and inactive (Figure 2).
