Abstract: Folliclestimulating hormone（FSH）is a kind of important glycoprotein hormones in mammals.It can promote the growth of female animals endometrial and cell proliferation and differentiation of ovarian follicles granulosa,stimulate multiple follicle development,synthetic estrogen,and other biological functions.In this article,we mainly focus on the molecular structure and biological function of FSH and follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR),to review cell signaling pathways involved in G proteindependent and G proteinindependent.

Key words: folliclestimulating hormone, folliclestimulating hormone receptor, biological function, cell signaling pathway
