???displayGene.name???: 
luteinizing hormone subunit beta

???displayGene.synonyms???
lhb-A , LOC100490615 , LOC121396558 , xlhb ( Nomenclature history )

???displayGene.geneFunction???
The lhb gene encodes the luteinizing hormone beta subunit, which forms a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone. This hormone is synthesized in pituitary gonadotrope cells and secreted into the bloodstream. It acts as an endocrine signaling molecule that binds to g-protein coupled receptors in the gonads to regulate steroidogenesis and gametogenesis.
