MeSH Heading: Luteinizing Hormone, beta Subunit
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.322.576.463.500; D06.472.699.631.525.343.463.500; D12.644.548.691.525.343.463.500
Unique ID: D037101
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D037101
Scope Note: The beta subunit of luteinizing hormone. It is a 15-kDa glycopolypeptide with structure similar to the beta subunit of the placental chorionic gonadatropin (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN) except for the additional 31 amino acids at the C-terminal of CG-beta. Full biological activity of LH requires the non-covalently bound heterodimers of an alpha and a beta subunit. Mutation of the LHB gene causes HYPOGONADISM and infertility.
