Targets

FSH receptor
Comments:  A D224V mutation in the extracellular domain of the receptor results in impaired targeting of the receptor to the cell membrane while a L601V mutation in the 3rd extracellular loop creates a receptor that bind ligands but has impaired signalling (Touraine et al., 1999). A P519T mutation in the 2nd extracellular loop of the receptor results in impaired targeting of the receptor to the cell membrane (Meduri et al., 2003). These mutations have been indentified in patients suffering from primary ovarian failure.

An A419T mutation in the 2nd transmembrane domain results in abolished adenylyl cyclase signalling, although has no effect on ligand binding. This mutation has been identified in a patient suffering from primary ovarian failure (Doherty et al., 2002).
