Entrez gene ID3973
Official gene symbolLHCGR
Full nameluteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor
Aliases,FLJ41504,HHG,LCGR,LGR2,LH/CG-R,LH/CGR,LHR,LHRHR,LSH-R,ULG5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the receptor for both luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin. This receptor belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, and its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mutations in this gene result in disorders of male secondary sexual character development, including familial male precocious puberty, also known as testotoxicosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Leydig cell adenoma with precocious puberty, and male pseudohermaphtoditism with Leydig cell hypoplasia.
