The Follicle stimulating hormone, with the CAS registry number 9002-68-0, is also known as Menotropins. It belongs to the product categories ofhormone.Its EINECS number is 232-662-3. What's more,Its systematic name is Follicle stimulating hormone.It is a glycoprotein, active form is glycosylation of heterologous dimers.It is a major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (pituitary gland, anterior). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates gametogenesis and the supporting cells such as the ovarian granulosa cells, the testicular sertoli cells, and leydig cells. Follicle stimulating hormone consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity. Follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone known collectively gonadotropins. Besides, it is white powder, which should be stored in closed, cool and dry place at 2-8 °C. When you are using this chemical, please do not breathe dust. And you should avoid contact with skin and eyes. In addition, it is a glycoprotein.

Preparation  and Uses of Follicle stimulating hormone: It is synthesized and secreted by gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. Furthermore, it regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. Moreover, in both males and females, Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates the maturation of germ cells. It is also used as an anti tumor angiogenesis therapy.
