Descriptor English: Follicle Stimulating Hormone, beta Subunit
Descriptor Spanish: Hormona Folículo Estimulante de Subunidad beta
Descriptor subunidad beta de la hormona foliculoestimulante
Entry term(s) subundiad beta de la FSH
subunidad beta de la hormona foliculostimulante
Scope note: Es un glicopéptido de 15 kDa. Para tener actividad biológica completa la FSH necesita heterodímeros de una subunidad alfa y una subunidad beta unidos mediante enlaces no covalentes. La mutación del gen FSHB causa retraso de la pubertad o infertilidad.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D037201
Scope note: The beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone. It is a 15-kDa glycopolypeptide. Full biological activity of FSH requires the non-covalently bound heterodimers of an alpha and a beta subunit. Mutation of the FSHB gene causes delayed puberty, or infertility.
