Background: FSH is secreted by the pituitary, and is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family which includes Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), Luteinizing hormone (LH), and Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). These hormones are all structurally related and contain a common alpha subunit non-covalently bound to a hormone specific beta subunit, which determines receptor specificity. Both of the subunits are necessary for hormone action.Synonyms: Anterior pituitary glycoprotein hormones common subunit alpha, Choriogonadotropin alpha chain, Chorionic gonadotrophin subunit alpha, FSH-alpha, Follicle-stimulating hormone alpha chain, Follitropin alpha chain, LH alpha, LSH-alpha, Luteinizing hormone alpha chain, Lutropin alpha chain, TSH-alpha, Thyroid-stimulating hormone alpha chain, Thyrotropin alpha chain, hCG-alpha
