Description
Product Characteristics:
Receptor for follicle-stimulating hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: LGR1, ODG1, FSHRO, Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor, FSH-R, Follitropin receptor, FSHR
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to family 1 of G-protein coupled receptors. It is the receptor for follicle stimulating hormone and functions in gonad development. Mutations in this gene cause ovarian dysgenesis type 1, and also ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
