follicle-stimulating hormone activity Gene Set

Dataset GO Molecular Function Annotations 2023
Category structural or functional annotations
Type biological process
Description The action characteristic of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a gonadotrophic glycoprotein hormone secreted, in mammals, by the anterior pituitary gland. Upon receptor binding, FSH stimulates growth of Graafian follicles in the ovaries in females, and stimulates the epithelium of the seminiferous tubules to increase spermatogenesis.
