Data Sheet
Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin hormone secreted by anterior pituitary gonadotropic cells. This glycoprotein plays an important role in: growth, development, pubertal maturation, and reproductive physiology. The FSH receptor (FSHR) is a G protein–coupled receptor that in response to FSH mediates estrogen synthesis and follicular growth in response to FSH.
Application: Functional assays
Figure 1. Dose-dependent stimulation of intracellular cAMP level upon treatment with ligand, measured with MULTISCREEN™ TR-FRET cAMP 1.0 No Wash Assay Kit (Multispan MSCM01). Figure 2. Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
