| Agonist Comments | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Various thienopyrimidine derivatives are known LH receptor agonists binding with pIC50 values of between 7.7 and 5 [18]. There are considerable differences in affinity when comparing various species combinations of receptors and the natural ligands [6]. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Antagonist Comments | ||
| Deglycosylated hCGs (human chorionic gonadotropins) are known LH receptor antagonists [3,12]. |

| Tissue Distribution Comments | ||||||||
| In many tissues mRNA expression, protein expression and even receptor activity has been found. It is however still under debate whether such functional expression has physiological relevance, since the human and mouse knockouts do not show deficiencies related to this extragonadal expression. | ||||||||
