這個基因編碼促黃體生成素和絨毛膜促性腺激素的受體該受體屬于g蛋白偶聯受體1家族，其活性由激活腺苷酸環化酶的g蛋白介導。該基因突變導致男性繼發性性征發育障礙，包括家族性男性性早熟，也被稱為性腺機能減退、性腺機能減退、性早熟的睪丸間質細胞腺瘤和男性睪丸間質細胞發育不全。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
This gene encodes the receptor for both luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin. This receptor belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, and its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mutations in this gene result in disorders of male secondary sexual character development, including familial male precocious puberty, also known as testotoxicosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Leydig cell adenoma with precocious puberty, and male pseudohermaphtoditism with Leydig cell hypoplasia.
