Anti-thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the TRHDE gene, which encodes thyrotropin releasing hormone degrading enzyme. This protein is known to function in cell to cell signaling and proteolysis, among other biological roles. The human version of thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme has a canonical amino acid length of 1024 residues and a protein mass of 117 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells. thyrotropin-releasing hormone degrading enzyme is a member of the Peptidase M1 protein family.
