Lutropin-Choriogonadotropic Hormone Receptor

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Receptor

**Definition:** Lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor (699 aa, ~79 kDa) is encoded by the human LHCGR gene. This protein plays a role in G protein-coupled receptor signaling mediated by luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin binding.
