FSHR (Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor)
Certainty styling is being phased out topic by topic.Hover over keys for definitions:
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is a transmembrane receptor necessary for activation of FSH. It is located on the ovaries, testis, and uterus and is important for proper gonadal development and function. FSHR was shown to have undergone accelerated evolution and positive selection in the human lineage and is hypothesized to be associated with decreased human gestational length compared to other primates and preterm birth.
