Abstract excerpt
A splice variant of human lutropin (LH)/choriogonadotropin (CG)-receptor [hLHR(exon 9)] that lacks exon 9 was previously cloned in the corpus luteum of a woman with a normal menstrual cycle. Supported by a detergent-soluble binding assay and a receptor biotinylation experiment, the receptor binding assay shows hLHR(exon 9) is neither expressed at the cell surface nor has the capability of binding to hCG. In...
