PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a large N terminal extracellular domain containing nine leucine-rich repeat motifs
	a stretch of five amino acids Ala (A)-Phe (F)-Asn (N)-Gly (G)-Thr (T), highly conserved in glycoprotein hormone receptors
	a C terminal half homolog of the rhodopsin-like receptors

conjugated

GlycoP , PhosphoP

basic FUNCTION	acting as luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (gonadotropin receptor)
	regulating in males the devopment and function of Leyding cells
	playing a role in male secondary sexual character development
	is a G(s)-coupled GPCR that is essential for the maturation and function of the ovary and testis

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

hormonal

a component	inactive mutant attenuates signaling of wild-type or constitutively active receptors via heterodimerization (Zhang 2009)
	coexpression of the LHCGR and FSHR enables heterodimerizaton between the 2 gonadotropin receptors and results in an attenuation of signaling through each receptor

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	MVK binds to the coding region of LHCGR mRNA, suppresses its translation, and the resulting ribonucleoprotein complex is targeted for degradation
	ARF6 activated by the LHCGR through the cytohesin family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors mediates the receptor internalization and signaling
	LHCGR signaling in regulating the AHR message involves protein kinase A pathway and is attributable to decreased transcription rate
	lack of the physiological down regulation of LHCGR mRNA levels by ZFP36L2 in the ovaries is associated with anovulation and oocyte meiotic arrest
	by inhibiting EIF5A hypusination, FSH reduces the expression of MVK that increases LHCGR mRNA expression by abrogating the inhibitory action of MVK
