Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Glycans DataBase 1.0

FGDB provides fucosylated and non-fucosylated glycans associated with Follicle Stimulating Hormones (FSH) in human. FSH is a heterodimeric glycoprotein with α and hormone-specific β-subunit. FSH-α is N-glycosylated at positions Asn52 and Asn78, while FSH-β is also N-glycosylated but at positions Asn7 and Asn24. So far there are 230 FSH glycans proposed, of which 91 are core-fucosylated while 139 lacked fucose residue. For positional details of glycosylation sites in FSH and their biological roles please refer to the following figure from Bousfield et al. (2019)
