Summary of FSHR
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to family 1 of G-protein coupled receptors. It is the receptor for follicle stimulating hormone and helps gonad development. Mutations can cause problems with the ovaries (R).
The Function of FSHR
Receptor for follicle-stimulating hormone. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Induces cAMP production through the activation of PI3K-AKT and SRC-ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

Advanced Summary
From NCBI Gene: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndromeDizygotic twinsOvarian dysgenesis 1From UniProt: Ovarian dysgenesis 1 (ODG1): An autosomal recessive disease characterized by primary amenorrhea, variable development of secondary sex characteristics, poorly developed streak ovaries, and high serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). [MIM:233300] Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): Disorder which occurs either spontaneously or most often as an iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation treatments for in vitro fertilization. The clinical manifestations vary from abdominal distention and discomfort to potentially life-threatening, massive ovarian enlargement and capillary leak with fluid sequestration. Pathologic features of this syndrome include the presence of multiple serous and hemorrhagic follicular cysts lined by luteinized cells, a condition called hyperreactio luteinalis. [MIM:608115]
From NCBI Gene: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to family 1 of G-protein coupled receptors. It is the receptor for follicle stimulating hormone and functions in gonad development. Mutations in this gene cause ovarian dysgenesis type 1, and also ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Induces cAMP production through the activation of PI3K-AKT and SRC-ERK1/2 signaling pathways.
