Microvesicle-mediated release of soluble LH/hCG receptor (LHCGR) from transfected cells and placenta explants

Placental hCG and pitutary LH transduce signals in target tissues through a common receptor (LHCGR). We demonstrate that recombinant LHCGR proteins which include the hormone-binding domain are secreted from transfected cells and that natural LHCGR is also secreted from human placental explants. LHCG...
