Function Receptor for lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity Gonadal and thyroid cells.
Top Pathways Calcium signaling pathway, Prolactin signaling pathway, Ovarian steroidogenesis, Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction
