Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin) is a tropic hormone which regulates the secretory activity of other endocrine glands. LH functions to stimulate ovulation, corpus luteum formation, estrogen and progesterone synthesis by the ovary and androgen synthesis by the interstitial cells of the testes. It is produced in the anterior hypophysis of the pituitary gland. The glycoprotein hormone, LH, like follicle stimulating hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone, is composed of a common alpha-subunit but also a specific beta-subunit, which characterizes each of these hormones
