Biological function summary
FSH-R facilitates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in females and supports spermatogenesis in males. It does not function as part of a larger protein complex but interacts with various G-proteins to trigger downstream signaling. The activation of FSH-R promotes the production of sex steroids and gamete development directly influencing fertility and reproductive success. The receptor’s function is critical during the reproductive cycle regulating the development of the gametes.
Pathways
The interaction of FSH-R with G-proteins activates the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway an important regulator of cellular hormone responses. This pathway impacts the expression of genes related to steroidogenesis and follicular development. FSH-R signaling also shows linkage to the MAPK pathway which further influences cellular proliferation and differentiation. In these pathways FSH-R works closely with proteins like aromatase and LH receptor highlighting its regulation of endocrine functions.

General info
Function
G protein-coupled receptor for follitropin, the follicle-stimulating hormone (PubMed : 11847099, PubMed : 24058690, PubMed : 24692546). Through cAMP production activates the downstream PI3K-AKT and ERK1/ERK2 signaling pathways (PubMed : 24058690).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. FSH/LSH/TSH subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Sulfated.. N-glycosylated; indirectly required for FSH-binding, possibly via a conformational change that allows high affinity binding of hormone.
