Abstract excerpt
The human LH receptor (hLHR) consists of a heptahelical segment prototypical of G protein-coupled receptors and a large ectodomain. The binding of hormone to the ectodomain or the presence of activating mutations stabilize the hLHR in an active conformation. Although it has been inferred that activation of the hLHR involves conformational alterations, direct evidence supporting this has not been reported. We have...
