Patent Granted Luteinizing hormone subunit beta also known as lutropin subunit beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LHB gene. The genes for the beta chains of chorionic gonadotropin and for luteinizing hormone are contiguous on chromosome 19q13.3.[2] In equines, this subunit is encoded by the same gene as the beta subunit of chorionic gonadatropin, subunits which are identical.
