The Thyroliberinase (also TRH-Degrading-ectoenzymes or TRH-DE) is a metallopeptidase , whose only known substrate the thyrotropin-releasing hormone is (TRH).
Thyroliberinase is an ectoenzyme that is expressed on lactotropic cells of the adenohypophysis and tanycytes (specialized glial cells of the hypothalamus). The regulation is carried out by a triiodothyronine (T3) -dependent feedback regulation.
