Predicted to enable follicle-stimulating hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gonadotropin secretion; thyroid gland development; and thyroid hormone generation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of follicle-stimulating hormone complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space.
