While a number of reports concern thyroid hormones and smoltification, few and inconclusive studies have addressed the potential role of thyrotropin (TSH). TSH is composed of a α-subunit common to gonadotropins, and a β-subunit conferring hormone specificity. We report the presence and functional divergence of duplicated TSH β-subunit paralogs (tsh ...[more]
