Abstract excerpt
The human lutropin receptor (LHCGR) plays an integral role in male and female reproductive physiology. In response to either placental hCG or pituitary LH, gonadal LHCGR mediates its effects primarily through Gs activation. Heterozygous mutations leading to constitutive activation of the LHCGR cause gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty in males, but have no detectable effects on prepubertal or postpubertal...
