Question

explain why fsh does not bind to a lh receptor

Answer 1

every receptor is signalling molecule specific...so lh receptor would bind to lh only and not follicle stimulating hormone. dis is what i think....but i m trying to search between d structural differences which avoid dis unusual bindin

Answer 2

the receptor of these 2 molecules are very very same...both gpcr both acivate cAMP pathway...the difference is just the size....maybe this causes the specificity....
