Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Target: FSH
Molecular classification: Glycoprotein hormone

Overview

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone produced and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a central role in regulating reproductive processes in both males and females, including development, growth, pubertal maturation, and fertility.
