About Lhb

Summary

Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within luteinizing hormone signaling pathway involved in ovarian follicle development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 23 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to several human genes including LHB (luteinizing hormone subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
