hi guys, i saw the link material but it did not say, where the autoantibodies are binding. but from the picture, i understood that, it is binding on thyroid follicle. but as far as i found out, the autoantibodies work like TSH and act on TSH receptor on the thyroid gland. i did not know that tsh receptors are called thyrotropin receptor madsad
