FSHB, FSH, ID (Follitropin subunit beta, Follicle-stimulating hormone beta subunit, Follitropin beta chain) (APC)

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. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and FLISA. Other applications not tested....
