Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), also called follitropin, belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that also includes luteininizing hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone. These hormones are secreted by the pituitary and exist as heterodimers, consisting of a common alpha subunit and a homologous but distinct beta subunit. While the alpha subunit of FSH is involved in the binding of FSH to the receptor, follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), the beta subunit stabilizes this interaction. This heterodimer regulates a variety of processes, including secretion, post-translational modification and signal transduction. Both FSH and FSHR are localized to Sertoli cells.Synonyms: FSH-R, Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor, Follitropin receptor, LGR1
