Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of the human lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (hLHR), a Gs-coupled receptor, have been identified in young boys with gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty (testotoxicosis). The properties of these mutants have typically been characterized in heterologous cells transfected with recombinant mutant receptor and compared with those expressing wild-type (wt) receptor. The affected...
