Alternative splicing converts the G-protein coupled follitropin receptor gene into a growth factor type I receptor: Implications for pleiotropic actions of the hormone
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Pituitary follitropin (FSH) has pleiotropic actions on gonads, but it is not certain if all these events are mediated by a single receptor. A single gene for the FSH receptor undergoes extensive alternate splicing generating multiple transcripts, and several of these have been cloned and characterized from the sheep testis. In this study we have investigated the expression in HEK (human embryonic kidney) 293...
