Glycoprotein hormone receptors
Overview
Glycoprotein hormone receptors are activated by a non-covalent heterodimeric glycoprotein made up of a common α chain (glycoprotein hormone common alpha subunit CGA, P01215), with a unique β chain that confers the biological specificity to FSH, LH, hCG or TSH. There is binding cross-reactivity across the endogenous agonists for each of the glycoprotein hormone receptors. The deglycosylated hormones appear to exhibit reduced efficacy at these receptors [1,2].References
