Background Information
Lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor (LHCGR, also known as LHR or LSHR) belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and plays a crucial role in the regulation of gonadal functions by stimulating steroidogenesis in response to luteinizing hormone (LH) or hCG (PMID: 15866423). Mutations in LHCGR gene result in familial male-limited precocious puberty, Leydig cell hypoplasia, and empty follicle syndrome (PMID: 30711030). LHCGR protein consists of 699 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 79 kDa. Due to massive glycosylation, the molecular mass of the mature LHCGR is higher (85-100 kDa) than the predicted molecular protein mass of 79 kDa (PMID: 23686864; 15866423; 29075189; 15969756).
