The hinge region of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor operates as a tunable switch between hormone binding and receptor activation.

The mechanism by which the hinge regions of glycoprotein hormone receptors couple hormone binding to activation of downstream effecters is not clearly understood.
