Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 14309 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables follicle-stimulating hormone receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; gonad development; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in early conceptus and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46 XX gonadal dysgenesis; ovarian dysgenesis 1; and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Orthologous to human FSHR (follicle stimulating hormone receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutant females are sterile with small ovaries, blocked follicular development, atrophic uterus and imperforate vagina. Mutant males are fertile despite reduction in testis weight, oligozoospermia and reduced testosterone levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
