An Activated Human Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Receptor Stimulates FSH-Like Activity in Gonadotropin-Deficient Transgenic Mice
28 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
FSH mediates its testicular actions via a specific Sertoli cell G protein-coupled receptor. We created a novel transgenic model to investigate a mutant human FSH receptor (FSHR(+)) containing a single amino acid substitution (Asp567Gly) equivalent to activating mutations in related glycoprotein hormone receptors. To examine the ligand-independent gonadal actions of FSHR(+), the rat androgen-binding protein gene...
