Fshb - follicle stimulating hormone subunit beta

Predicted to enable follicle-stimulating hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including follicle-stimulating hormone signaling pathway; positive regulation of steroid biosynthetic process; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including gonad development; positive regulation of bone resorption; and regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Predicted to be part of follicle-stimulating hormone complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amenorrhea and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 24 without anosmia. Orthologous to human FSHB (follicle stimulating hormone subunit beta).
