Chemical compound and disease context of LHB

 

Biological context of LHB

  • The six genes of the human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit (CGB) and the gene of the luteinizing hormone beta subunit (LHB) are located in a cluster that spans 50 kb on chromosome 19q13 [1].
  • Direct sequencing was performed for a 661 bp promoter region from -8 to -668 bp of LHB, revealing homozygosity for eight nucleotide substitutions (-238A>G, -276G>A, -489C>A, -490T>A, -504T>A, -506T>C, -525T>G, and -552C>T) that are identical to those found in the hyperfunctional promoter [12].
  • In the LHB/CGB region, high sequence diversity, concentration of gene-conversion acceptor sites, and strong LD colocalize with peripheral genes, whereas central loci are characterized by lower variation, gene-conversion donor activity, and breakdown of LD between close markers [6].
  • This study subsequently aimed to examine the role of Prop-1 in the gene expression of two other porcine gonadotropin subunits, pituitary glycoprotein hormone alpha subunit (alphaGSU), and luteinizing hormone beta subunit (LHbeta) [13].
  • The NZW and Dutch rabbit LHB coding sequences are 426bp long, and their G+C contents are higher (>73%) than those of other mammalian LHBs (<70%) [14].
 

Anatomical context of LHB

 

Associations of LHB with chemical compounds

  • To shed light on these issues, we have re-sequenced the human Luteinizing Hormone/Chorionic Gonadotropin beta (LHB/CGB) cluster (19q13.32) of three population samples (Estonians, Mandenka, and Han) [6].
  • In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between serum testosterone levels and LH B/I ratios in the impotent men (r = 0.45; P = 0.029) [16].
  • Measurements of basal and stimulated gonadotropins (immunoactive LH, LH-I; bioactive LH, LH-B; immunoactive FSH, FSH-I) and E2 were obtained before and after administration of clomiphene citrate [17].
 

Other interactions of LHB

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LHB

  • Northern blot analysis indicated that the approximately 600-nt mRNA encoding JW LHB is slightly longer than the LHB mRNAs of the other two breeds [14].
