Target
Relevance
The four human glycoprotein hormones chorionic gonadotropin (CG), luteinizing hormone (LH),
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are dimers consisting
of alpha and beta subunits that are associated noncovalently. The alpha subunits of these
hormones are identical. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit and belongs to
the glycoprotein hormones alpha chain family. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone
synthesized and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. In concert
with the other pituitary gonadotropin follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) it is necessary for proper
reproductive function. In the female, an acute rise of LH triggers ovulation. In the male, where LH
had also been called Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH), it stimulates Leydig cell
production of testosterone.
