Gene:
leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 8
Gene ID:
203013
Symbol:
LGR8
Species:
1000
Description:
The receptors for glycoprotein hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH; see MIM 136530) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; see MIM 188540) are G protein-coupled, 7-transmembrane receptors (GPCRs) with large N-terminal extracellular domains. Leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing GPCRs (LGRs) form a subgroup of the GPCR superfamily.[supplied by OMIM]
