The monoclonal antibody, HT13 recognizes human choriogonadotropin (CG) bound to the extracellular domain of its receptor, but not to the full-length receptor. The HT13 epitope is located in the regions of residues 15-17 and 73-75 of the human CG alpha-subunit. Only one synthetic peptide, lutropin (LH)/CG-receptor-(481-497)-peptide (EL2 peptide), which spans the second putative extracellular loop of the LH/CG-receptor endodomain, prevents recognition of human CG by HT13 mAb. EL2 peptide decreases hormone-induced cAMP production, but not high-affinity binding. An anti-EL2 serum also displays the capacity to inhibit human CG-stimulated cAMP production. These results suggest that the second extracellular loop of the receptor is in contact with the HT13 epitope of human CG alpha-subunit and is involved in signal transduction. A relative orientation of the hormone versus the endodomain is proposed.

D011974 Receptors, LH Those protein complexes or molecular sites on the surfaces and cytoplasm of gonadal cells that bind luteinizing or chorionic gonadotropic hormones and thereby cause the gonadal cells to synthesize and secrete sex steroids. The hormone-receptor complex is internalized from the plasma membrane and initiates steroid synthesis.
