Abstract excerpt
The lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor is a seven-transmembrane receptor and consists of two major domains of similar size, an extracellular exodomain and a membrane-associated endodomain which includes 3 exoloops. The uniquely large exodomain is responsible for high affinity hormone binding whereas receptor activation occurs at the endodomain. However, little is known about the relationship between the...
