Lutropin alfa

Description:

Lutropin alfa, also known as recombinant human luteinizing hormone (LH), is a glycoprotein hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating reproductive functions. It is produced through recombinant DNA technology and is used primarily in fertility treatments. The substance is characterized by its specific amino acid sequence, which mimics the natural LH produced by the pituitary gland. Lutropin alfa is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are linked by non-covalent interactions. Its primary function is to stimulate the ovaries in women and the testes in men, promoting the production of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. The substance is administered via injection and is often used in combination with other hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), to enhance fertility outcomes. Due to its biological activity, lutropin alfa is subject to strict regulatory oversight and is typically prescribed under medical supervision. Its safety and efficacy have been established through clinical trials, making it a valuable tool in assisted reproductive technologies.
