研究背景
follicle stimulating hormone beta subunit(FSHB) Homo sapiens The pituitary glycoprotein hormone family includes follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, chorionic gonadotropin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. All of these glycoproteins consist of an identical alpha subunit and a hormone-specific beta subunit. This gene encodes the beta subunit of follicle-stimulating hormone. In conjunction with luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone induces egg and sperm production. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],disease:Defects in FSHB are a cause of isolated follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency (IFSHD) [MIM:229070]. Selective follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency is an uncommon cause of infertility, producing amenorrhea and hypogonadism in women and oligo or azoospermia with normal testosterone levels in normally virilised men.,function:Stimulates development of follicle and spermatogenesis in the reproductive organs.,online information:Follicle-stimulating hormone entry,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database,pharmaceutical:Available under the names Gonal-F or Metrodin HP (Serono) and Puregon (Organon). Used in the treatment of infertility in women with proven hypopituitarism or who have not responded to clomifene; or in superovulation treatment for assisted conception (such as in vitro fertilization). Metrodin HP is also used in the treatment of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in men for the stimulation of spermatogenesis.,similarity:Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family.,subunit:Heterodimer of a common alpha chain and a unique beta chain which confers biological specificity to thyrotropin, lutropin, follitropin and gonadotropin.,
