Scientific background: |
The luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor is a member of a subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) characterized by the presence of a large N-terminal extracellular domain containing several leucine-rich repeats (LRR). This glycoprotein hormone receptor family has been named the LRR-containing GPCR (LGR) family . The LHCGR gene contains 11 exons and spans approximately 80 kb and it is mapped to chromosome 2p21. In the ovary, theca, stromal, late-stage (luteinizing) granulosa, and luteal cells contain LHCGR. In the testes, Leydig cells contain LHCRG. |
