This cell line is useful in studying FSH-FSH receptor interactions, as well as how FSH receptor regulates the development and maturation of ovarian follicle. Together with the Immortalized Rat Steroidogenic Granulosa Cells expressing LH Receptor (Cat. No. T0606), researchers can compare the LH and FSH signaling in homologues cell systems.
