In the ovary, the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) forms heteromeric complexes with the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), reprogramming FSH-induced signals and determining the follicular fate. Based on the structural similarity, we evaluated whether GPER interacts with the luteinizing hormone (LH)/choriogonadotropin (hCG) receptor (LHCGR) modulating gonadotropin-dependent signals. LHCGR-GPER heteromers were evaluated in transiently transfected HEK293 cell...

Background: Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) are expressed on the surface of granulosa cells, where they form heteromeric complexes, shifting FSH-induced signals to survival pathways and determining the follicular fate.Objectives: We evaluated whether GPER can interact with the luteinizing hormone (LH)/choriogonadotropin (hCG) receptor (LHCGR) and modulate the LH/hCG/dependent signalling pathways...
