A human FSHB promoter SNP associated with low FSH levels in men impairs LHX3 binding and basal FSHB transcription.
FSH production is important for human gametogenesis. In addition to inactivating mutations in the FSHB gene, which result in infertility in both sexes, a G/T single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at -211 relative to the transcription start site of the 5' untranslated region of FSHB has been reported to be associated with reduced serum FSH levels in men. In this study, we sought to identify the p...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of FSHb Gene and the Effect of FSHβ on the mRNA Levels of FSHR in the Local Chicken*
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein hormone that is encoded by separate alphaand betasubunit genes. It plays a key role in stimulating and regulating ovarian follicular development and egg production in chicken. FSH signal transduction is mediated by the FSH receptor (FSHR) that exclusively interacts with the beta-subunit of FSH, but characterization of prokaryotic ex...
متن کاملGenomics and genetics of gonadotropin beta-subunit genes: Unique FSHB and duplicated LHB/CGB loci
The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) play a critical role in human reproduction. Despite the common evolutionary ancestry and functional relatedness of the gonadotropin hormone beta (GtHB) genes, the single-copy FSHB (at 11p13) and the multi-copy LHB/CGB genes (at 19q13.32) exhibit locus-specific differences regarding their genomic co...
متن کاملHuman FSHβ subunit gene is highly conserved
FSH is a pituitary gonadotropin that along with LH plays a key role in the regulation of gonadal function. The gonadotropic hormones are composed of two subunits, the common subunit and the hormone-specific subunit, which determines the binding to specific receptors and induction of biological response. Unlike the LH gene, shown in earlier studies to harbour several amino acid-altering polymorp...
متن کاملHaplotype Structure of FSHB, the Beta-Subunit Gene for Fertility-Associated Follicle-Stimulating Hormone: Possible Influence of Balancing Selection
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is essential for human reproduction. The unique functions of this hormone are provided by the FSH receptor-binding beta-subunit encoded by the FSHB gene. Resequencing and genotyping of FSHB in three European, two Asian and one African population, as well as in the great apes (chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan), revealed low diversity and significant excess of pol...
