CC   -!- FUNCTION: Together with the alpha chain CGA constitutes follitropin,
CC       the follicle-stimulating hormone, and provides its biological
CC       specificity to the hormone heterodimer. Binds FSHR, a G protein-coupled
CC       receptor, on target cells to activate downstream signaling pathways.
CC       Follitropin is involved in follicle development and spermatogenesis in
CC       reproductive organs. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01225}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. The active follitropin is a heterodimer composed
CC       of an alpha chain/CGA shared with other hormones and a unique beta
CC       chain/FSHB shown here. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01225}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01225}.
CC       Note=Efficient secretion requires dimerization with CGA.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P01225}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
