Abstract excerpt
The original concept (dogma) of a single FSH receptor entity coupling to G(s) protein to activate adenylate cyclase and producing cAMP as second messenger appears inadequate to explain pleiotropic actions of the hormone. The identification and expression of alternatively spliced gonadotropin receptors, suggest that alternative splicing could serve as a mechanism for creating receptor diversity. Studies focused on...
