Thyrotropin or the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is the hormone secreted from an anterior pituitary gland.
Explanation:
This is a peptide hormone that is secreted to stimulate the secretion of thyroxine and triiodothyronine from Thyroid gland. It also maintains the proper structure and functions of Thyroid gland.
It has a backward feedback looping mechanism that actually maintains the concentration of this hormone in blood. The appropriate amount of Thyroxine in blood sends a negative feedback to pituitary gland to reduce secretion of Thyrotropin hormone.
