Preferred term

Follicle Stimulating Hormone, beta Subunit  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • The beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone. It is a 15-kDa glycopolypeptide. Full biological activity of FSH requires the non-covalently bound heterodimers of an alpha and a beta subunit. Mutation of the FSHB gene causes delayed puberty, or infertility.
