MeSH Heading: Follicle Stimulating Hormone, beta Subunit
Tree Number(s): D06.472.699.322.576.288.500; D06.472.699.631.525.343.288.500; D12.644.548.691.525.343.288.500
Unique ID: D037201
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D037201
Scope Note: The beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone. It is a 15-kDa glycopolypeptide. Full biological activity of FSH requires the non-covalently bound heterodimers of an alpha and a beta subunit. Mutation of the FSHB gene causes delayed puberty, or infertility.
