FSHR Gene

Meaning

The FSHR Gene, an abbreviation for the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor gene, contains the essential genetic instructions for synthesizing the specific transmembrane receptor protein that recognizes and binds to Follicle-Stimulating Hormone. This receptor is prominently expressed on the granulosa cells of the ovaries and the Sertoli cells of the testes, where its function is to transduce the critical signal necessary for regulating gonadal function and the production of sex steroid hormones. The integrity of this gene is paramount for reproductive health and endocrine balance.
