Summary
This gene encodes the receptor for both luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin. This receptor belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, and its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mutations in this gene result in disorders of male secondary sexual character development, including familial male precocious puberty, also known as testotoxicosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Leydig cell adenoma with precocious puberty, and male pseudohermaphtoditism with Leydig cell hypoplasia.

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor
 
Function
Receptor for lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone (PubMed:11847099). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:11847099).
