| Function | Receptor for lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Tissue Specificity | Gonadal and thyroid cells. |
| Top Pathways | Calcium signaling pathway, Prolactin signaling pathway, Ovarian steroidogenesis, Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction |
