摘要: Glycoprotein hormones—lutropin/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyrotropin (TSH)—have a high degree of primary tertiary structure similarity, yet are target tissue specific (1–5). The structural similarities the hormones complemented by functional Thus, all well recognized to activate cAMP signal transducing system, modulate both growth differentiation their respective tissues. It is increasingly evident, in addition, that depend on action other hormones, such as insulin insulin-like factor I (IGF-I), regulate differentiated function (6–8).
