FSH is a member of a superfamily of proteins, all structurally related. which includes luteinizing hormone (LH), chori->inlc gonadotropin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). It is u heterodimer, the a subunit contains 92 amino acids, and the subunit contains 111 amino acids. The protein IS rather heavily glycosylated and has a molecular mass of approximately 33 kDa. The traditional source for isolation t l FSH was postmenopausal urine, which provided a preparation that was less than 3% pure and wa.s signiricantly contaminated by LH. The recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) is produced in a mammalian cell line, the CHO. [Pg.177]

In the past decade several lines of evidence have shown that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a thyroid stimulator and may cause hyperthyroidism. The basis for the thyrotropic effect of hCG is the structural similarity of hCG to TSH (similar a subunits and unique /3 subunits). In hyperthyroid patients with very high hCG levels, serum TSH may be inappropriately detectable owing to the weak crossreactivity of hCG in the radioimmunoassay for TSH. In patients with hyperthyroidism caused by trophoblastic tumors, serum hCG levels usually exceed 300 units/mL and always exceed 100 units/mL. The mean peak hCG level in normal pregnancy is 50 units/mL. On a molar basis, hCG has only 1/10,000 the activity of pituitary TSH in mouse bioassays. Nevertheless, this thyrotropic activity may be very substantial in patients with trophoblastic tumors, whose serum hCG concentrations may reach 2000 units/mL. [Pg.1374]
