General description

Follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) belongs to the G protein-coupled receptors family and is a glycoprotein. FSHR gene is mapped to human chromosome 2p16.3. FSHR comprises hydrophilic domain, hydrophobic membrane regions, C-terminal extracellular domain, and short intracellular domain.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide coresponding to the N-terminal extracellular domain of human follicle-stimulating hormone receptor, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 24% identity and 29% similarity with the mouse gene.

Application

Anti-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor antibody produced in rabbit has also been used in immunohistochemistry in ovine and reproductive tissues. It has also been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is located on Sertoli cells of the testes and the granulosa cells of ovary. The pituitary glycoprotein hormone, FSH, binds to FSHR and regulates the function of gonads and overall fertility. In Sertoli cells, FSHR-mediated cell proliferation determines the spermatogenic output. In ovarian granulosa cells, FSHR signaling mediates follicular growth and maturation of oocytes. Polymorphisms in the FSHR is implicated in premature ovarian insufficiency.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% sodium azide.
