Compound
HMG (Menotropins)
Human menopausal gonadotropin: urinary FSH and LH; potency assigned in IU by bioassay
Molecular formula
Not applicable (glycoprotein mixture)
Theoretical mass (avg.)
FSH about 30 kDa and LH about 28.5 kDa glycoform averages
Structure
Co-purified glycoprotein heterodimers: FSH = common α-subunit (92 aa) + FSHβ (111 aa); LH = common α-subunit (92 aa) + LHβ (121 aa); cystine-knot fold; N-glycosylated.
Purity · RP-HPLC, area %
