Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone, beta Polypeptide Chain
  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, beta Subunit
  • FSH beta
  • FSH-beta
  • FSH, beta Chain
  • FSH, beta Subunit

Scope note

  • 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.

History note

  • 2003; use FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE, BETA SUBUNIT (NM) 1983-2002
