Normal human skin contains a major 4.5 kb and several minor mRNA transcripts and a 66 kDa protein of luteinizing hormone (LH)/chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptors which are capable of binding exogenous 125I-hCG. The distribution of receptor transcripts and receptor protein are the highest in epidermis followed by hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands. LH/hCG receptors are co-localized with androgen receptors in all the skin appendages. These data are the first demonstration of skin containing LH/hCG receptors and would suggest that LH and hCG may regulate skin functions.
