Abstract

It can be concluded that LH specifically exists in the pituitary vacuoles, although there are some similar protein components in various cellular vacuoles. The possibility was further demonstrated at the molecular level that the pituitary vacuoles may have the function of storing and releasing LH due to the pituitary vacuoles containing LH with assembled glycone.
