Fshr Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables follicle-stimulating hormone receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; gonad development; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in early conceptus and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46 XX gonadal dysgenesis; ovarian dysgenesis 1; and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Orthologous to human FSHR (follicle stimulating hormone receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fshr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
