Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Human

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A major gonadotropin secreted by the human adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and the LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. The alpha subunit is common in the three human pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.  for alpha subunit, coord with GLYCOPROTEIN HORMONES, ALPHA SUBUNIT; for beta subunit, coord with FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE, BETA SUBUNIT    Other names hFSH; Puregon; Org-32489; Org 32489; Human Follicle Stimulating Hormone; Human FSH; Gonal-F; Gonal F; Follistim; FSH, human (follicle stimulating hormone); FSH, Human; AnthrogonDrugs* : FOLLISTIM; GONAL-F
