M22 is an activating antibody for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotropin_receptor TSHR]. This antibody mimics [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/23524-thyroid-stimulating-hormone-tsh-levels TSH] to activate the thyroid gland to produce [https://www.healthyandnaturalworld.com/t3-t4-thyroid-hormones/ T3 and T4 hormones]. M22 makes a stronger interaction with TSHR than TSH does due to a larger number of interactions with the polar residues of the LRRD. This interaction is key for understanding why M22 activates TSHR and does not release TSHR to go into the inactive state even when T3 and T4 levels are high<ref name="M22"> DOI 10.1677/JME-08-0152</ref>. | M22 is an activating antibody for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotropin_receptor TSHR].

This antibody mimics [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/23524-thyroid-stimulating-hormone-tsh-levels TSH] and blocks it from binding. When K1 is bound it does not allow TSHR to be in the active state like TSH and M22 do to produce T3 and T4 hormones. | ||
