Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Together with the alpha chain CGA constitutes follitropin, the follicle-stimulating hormone, and provides its biological specificity to the hormone heterodimer. Binds FSHR, a G protein-coupled receptor, on target cells to activate downstream signaling pathways (PubMed:24692546, PubMed:2494176). Follitropin is involved in follicle development and spermatogenesis in reproductive organs (PubMed:407105, PubMed:8220432).SUBUNIT Heterodimer. The active follitropin is a heterodimer composed of an alpha chain/CGA shared with other hormones and a unique beta chain/FSHB shown here.INTERACTION Efficient secretion requires dimerization with CGA.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.PHARMACEUTICAL Available under the names Gonal-F or Metrodin HP (Serono) and Puregon (Organon). Used in the treatment of infertility in women with proven hypopituitarism or who have not responded to clomifene; or in superovulation treatment for assisted conception (such as in vitro fertilization). Metrodin HP is also used in the treatment of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in men for the stimulation of spermatogenesis.SIMILARITY Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family.ONLINE INFORMATION Follicle-stimulating hormone entry
