Abstract excerpt
Previous reports on the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor and choriogonadotropic/LH receptor, which belong to the glycoprotein hormone receptor family, suggest that the extracellular loop (ECL) 3 could be a key domain for ligand binding and intramolecular receptor signaling. In contrast to ECLs 1 and 2 of glycoprotein hormone receptors, the ECL3 displays high sequence homology, particularly in the central...
