Preferred Label : luteinizing hormone, beta subunit;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : icsh, beta subunit; lh beta; lh, beta subunit; luteinizing hormone, beta polypeptide chain; lh-beta; lutropin-beta; lutropin beta; luteinizing hormone, beta chain; lutropin, beta subunit;
