Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptor. TRH free acid is the physiological metabolite of TRH, which acts on the TRH receptor to stimulate TSH release from the pituitary gland.

| ln Vitro |
Numerous biological processes connected to the endocrine and central nervous systems have been demonstrated to be impacted by the products of TRH breakdown. In brain tissue and plasma, TRH (pGlu-His-Pro-NH2) can be enzymatically broken down to yield TRH-OH. TRH and hGHRH increased the amount of [3H]GH released into the culture medium by 435% and 464%, respectively, in comparison to controls; TRH-OH had no impact [1]. A particular proline endopeptidase cleaves the C-terminal amide group to create TRH-OH. It is one among the most stable TRH derivatives and is found in large amounts throughout the brain. Mammalian septal neurons' Na+ channel activity is inhibited by TRH-OH. About 60% of the examined cells exhibited a dose-dependent reversible decrease of Na+ current when exposed to doses of TRH-OH ranging from 0.01 to 2.5 μM. The peak Na+ current amplitude is decreased by 20–50% when using 2 μM TRH-OH[2].
In vitro, TRH free acid is the physiological metabolite of TRH. TRH itself stimulates the anterior pituitary to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which in turn regulates thyroid hormone production. Beyond endocrine function, TRH also acts as a neuromodulator in the central nervous system, influencing mood, arousal, and autonomic functions. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to release TSH, which regulates thyroid hormone production. TRH also acts as a neuromodulator in the central nervous system, influencing mood, arousal, and autonomic functions. TRH free acid is the physiological metabolite of TRH and may have similar biological activities.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell receptor binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing the TRH receptor (e.g., pituitary cells). Radioligand binding studies are conducted using [³H]TRH or [³H]MeTRH as tracers. Membranes are incubated with the radioligand and varying concentrations of TRH free acid (0.001-100 μM). Nonspecific binding is determined with excess unlabeled TRH. After incubation at 4°C for 60-120 minutes, filtration and scintillation counting are performed. Ki values are calculated from competition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays are performed using pituitary cell lines (e.g., GH3 or AtT-20 cells) that express the TRH receptor. Cells are treated with TRH free acid at concentrations ranging from 0.01 nM to 10 μM. TSH release is measured by ELISA or RIA. Intracellular calcium mobilization is assessed using fluorescent calcium indicators (e.g., Fura-2) as a measure of TRH receptor activation. EC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies are conducted in rodent models. TRH or TRH free acid is administered via intravenous, intraperitoneal, or intracerebroventricular routes at doses ranging from 0.01-10 mg/kg. TSH and thyroid hormone levels are measured in serum at various time points. Behavioral and autonomic effects are assessed to evaluate central nervous system activity.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
TRH free acid (molecular weight: 363.37, CAS: 24769-58-2) is a physiological metabolite of TRH. It is soluble in water and PBS. The compound should be stored as a powder at -20°C or in solvent at -80°C for long-term preservation. TRH free acid is used as a research tool for studying the HPT axis and TRH receptor signaling.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Comprehensive toxicology data for TRH free acid are limited. As a physiological metabolite of the endogenous hormone TRH, it is expected to have a favorable safety profile. No significant toxicity has been reported at physiological concentrations. High doses of TRH may cause endocrine and autonomic effects. The compound is for research use only.

| Additional Infomation |
TRH free acid (TRH-OH) is the physiological metabolite of thyrotropin-releasing hormone. TRH is a tripeptide hormone (pGlu-His-Pro-NH2) that regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. TRH also acts as a neuromodulator in the central nervous system. TRH free acid is used as a research tool for studying TRH receptor signaling and thyroid function. It is not approved for clinical use and is available for research purposes only.
