Deskripsi

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone the functions of which are mediated by a G protein-coupled receptor, FSHR. Here, Duan et al. report cryo-EM structures of FSHR in active and inactive states, suggesting the molecular basis of FSH and small allosteric agonist-mediated FSHR activation.
