FSHR gen se nalazi na hromozomu 2 p21 kod čoveka. FSHR genska sekvenca se sastoji od oko 2,080 nukleotida.[1]
Struktura receptora
FSHR se sastoji od 695 aminokiselina, i ima molekulsku masu od oko 76 kDa.[1] Poput drugih GPCR receptora, FSH-receptor poseduje sedam domena (transmembranskih heliksa), svaki od kojih premoštava membranu.
Transmembranski domen sadrži dva visoko očuvana cisteinska ostatka koji formiraju disulfidnu vezs čime se stabilizuje struktura receptora. Visoko konzervirani Asp-Arg-Tyr triplet je prisutan i verovatno učestvuje u prenosu signala.
