About this item
Human Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a member of glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family, which also includes LH, chorionic gonadotropin (CG) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). FSH and its family members are heterodimers consisting of non-covalently linked alpha- and beta -subunits. They share an identical alpha subunit, and beta -subunits vary. FSH has a unique beta -subunit (FSH beta ), which confers its specific biologic activity and is responsible for interaction with the FSH-receptor which belongs to a subfamily of GPCRs called leucine-rich-repeat-containing GPCRs (LGRs). FSH is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates reproduction in mammals. FSH stimulates Sertoli cell proliferation in testes and supports spermatogenesis in males, and induces the maturation of ovarian follicles in females.
