General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | long-term changes in dietary Zn down-regulate pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase II activity independently of triiodothyronine, increasing thyrotropin serum concentration, overall resembling sub-clinical hypothyroidism | Rattus norvegicus |
physiological function | the enzyme degrades thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) released from the median eminence and participates in hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis function by regulating TRH-induced thyrotropin release from adenohypophysis | Rattus norvegicus |
