| DEFINITION |
A heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. This hormone is involved in gonadal development, growth, maturation and reproductive processes, including the regulation of spermatogenesis in males and follicular growth and ovulation in females. |
| DesignNote |
Follicle-stimulating hormone is comprised of an alpha chain, glycoprotein hormones alpha chain (CGA), which is the common alpha chain shared with LH, TSH, and hCG, and a unique beta chain, follitropin subunit beta (FSHB), which confers specific binding to follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR). |
