It is composed of noncovalently linked glycosylated alpha and beta chains. The alpha subunit (CG alpha ) is also a component of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, and Chorionic Gonadotropin. The unique beta subunit confers the protein’s specific biological action and is responsible for the interaction with its receptor. The approximately 20 kDa human CG alpha subunit shares 73% and 72% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs, respectively. The approximately 18 kDa human LH beta subunit shares 71% and 72% aa sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs, respectively. Multiple isoforms of LH exist due to differences in the post-translational glycosylation, sialylation, and sulphation modifications of its subunits. The composition, longevity, and activity of the different LH isoforms vary throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and reproductive life cycle. LH is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Its secretion is controlled by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone from the hypothalamus; however, LH secretion can also be stimulated by estradiol. LH works in concert with FSH to regulate female reproduction; FSH stimulates follicular growth and LH induces ovulation. LH also drives formation of the corpus luteum by promoting progesterone production. Additionally, LH has been suggested to stimulate the adrenal gland in postmenopausal women to induce secretion of sulfated DHEA, a precursor to androgens. In the testis, LH induces Leydig cell production of testosterone. Hypersecretion of LH has been shown to occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with an increased risk of infertility and miscarriage. Additionally, increased serum LH levels are associated with decreased cognition and have been implicated in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. receptor into an A-frame...

It is 393 amino acids (aa) in length with a predicted molecular weight of 44 kDa. It belongs to the p53 family that also includes p63 and p73. Structurally, p53 is characterized by an N-terminal transactivation domain, central DNA-binding and oligomerization domains, and a C-terminal regulatory domain. It is thought to exist as a homotetramer, and it exhibits approximately 72% and 76% aa identity with its mouse and rat orthologs, respectively. Mutations in the p53 gene are one of the most frequent genomic events accompanying oncogenic transformation. p53 responds to signals such as DNA damage or cell stress primarily through its actions as a transcription factor. Among its gene targets are a range factors that promote DNA repair mechanisms or apoptosis, including cell cycle regulatory proteins and members the Bcl-2 family. Because of its critical role in genomic homeostasis, p53 activities are tightly regulated by a network of protein-protein interactions, microRNAs, and a range of post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. A widely studied regulator is Murine Double Minute 2 (MDM2). MDM2 is known to suppress p53 activity through direct binding or through its actions as a Ubiquitin ligase (E3) that catalyzes p53 ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation... Read More |
