background | FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. It has a functionally indispensable 96 amino acid α subunit that is common to LH, TSH and hCG, in addition to a structurally unique β subunit. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. |
molecular weight | The protein has a predicted MW of 10.20 kDa (FSH alpha) and 39.2 kDa (FSH beta). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 25-30 kDa (FSH alpha) and 50-60 kDa (FSH beta) based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |

Gene names CGA,CGA |
Protein family Glycoprotein hormones subunit alpha family |
Mass 13075Da |
Function Shared alpha chain of the active heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones thyrotropin/thyroid stimulating hormone/TSH, lutropin/luteinizing hormone/LH, follitropin/follicle stimulating hormone/FSH and choriogonadotropin/CG. These hormones bind specific receptors on target cells that in turn activate downstream signaling pathways. |
Subellular location Secreted . |
Structure Heterodimer. The active hormones thyrotropin, lutropin, follitropin and choriogonadotropin are heterodimers composed of CGA, a common alpha chain described here and a unique beta chain which confers their biological specificity to the hormones: TSHB for thyrotropin, LHB for lutropin, FSHB for follitropin and choriogonadotropin subunit beta/CGB for choriogonadotropin. |
