Biological process

TSH-secreting cell differentiation, beta-basophil differentiation, thyroid stimulating hormone secreting cell differentiation, thyrotrope differentiation, thyrotroph differentiation

The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized structural and/or functional features of a thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting cell. A thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting cell is a basophil cell of the anterior pituitary that produces thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyrotrophin.
