The first case of novel variants of the mutation causing primary amenorrhea in 2 siblings in Korea [PDF]
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) mutation is a rare cause of amenorrhea. We report the first case of FSHR mutations in Korea. Two female siblings, aged 16 (patient 1) and 19 (patient 2) years, were referred to the pediatric endocrinology ...

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor and Estrogen Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Women With Discordant Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels. [PDF]
Objective This study aimed to investigate follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) polymorphisms (Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) polymorphisms (PvuII and XbaI), and ESR2 polymorphisms (RsaI and AluI) in Turkish women with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) discordance.

Follicle-stimulating Hormone Interacts with Exoloop 3 of the Receptor [PDF]
The human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor consists of two distinct domains of approximately 330 amino acids, the N-terminal extracellular exodomain and membrane-associated endodomain including three exoloops and seven transmembrane helices.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (695 aa, ~78 kDa) is encoded by the human FSHR gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of hormone binding and signaling and the mediation of both gonad development and gamete differentiation.

Effect of FSH on testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in gonadotrophin-deficient hypogonadal mice lacking androgen receptors [PDF]
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and androgen act to stimulate and maintain spermatogenesis. FSH acts directly on the Sertoli cells to stimulate germ cell number and acts indirectly to increase androgen production by the Leydig cells.
