Follitropin Subunit Beta, human

Known as: Follitropin Beta Chain, Follicle Stimulating Hormone Beta Subunit, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Beta Polypeptide 
Follitropin subunit beta (129 aa, ~15 kDa) is encoded by the human FSHB gene. This protein plays a role in induction of egg and sperm production.
