MiR-122 plays a regulatory role in LHCGR expression.
Title: Molecular regulation of LHCGR expression by miR-122 during follicle growth in the rat ovary.
The results of this study support the notion that by inhibiting eIF5A hypusination, FSH reduces the expression of an LHCGR mRNA-binding protein (LRBP), and then this increases LHCGR mRNA expression by abrogating the inhibitory action of LRBP.
Title: LHCGR Expression During Follicle Stimulating Hormone-Induced Follicle Growth Is Negatively Regulated by Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 5A.
these results suggest that hCG-induced LHR mRNA downregulation is mediated by cAMP-PKA-ERK1/2 signaling leading to activation of eIF5A hypusination.
Title: Hypusination of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A via cAMP-PKA-ERK1/2 pathway is required for ligand-induced downregulation of LH receptor mRNA expression in the ovary.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
