FSHR Proteins and Enzymes

Follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), also called follitropin receptor or LGR1, is a 695 amino acid (aa), ~87 kDa 7-transmembrane receptor of the leucine-rich repeat glycoprotein hormone receptor subfamily of GPCRs. It is expressed by ovarian granulosa cells and is essential for ovarian follicle maturation. In the male, it is expressed by Sertoli cells and plays a minor role in male fertility.
