Abstract excerpt
A common genetic variant (V) of luteinizing hormone (LH), with two mutations (Trp(8)Arg and Ile(15)Thr) and an extra glycosylation consensus site (Asn(13)-Ala-Thr), is associated with abnormalities of reproductive function. To address the molecular basis of the functional differences between V- and wild-type (WT)-LH, recombinant (rec) forms of WT- and V-LH were synthesized in human embryonic kidney (HEK 293)...
