Abstract

Summary Gangliosides inhibit the binding of 125 I-labeled luteinizing hormone to rat testis membranes. The inhibition is the result of an interaction between the hormone and the ganglioside rather than the membrane and ganglioside, and the interaction with ganglioside can be detected by fluorescence spectroscopy. In both the binding inhibition and fluorescence studies, luteinizing hormone recognizes an oligosaccharide sequence on the ganglioside molecule distinct from that of thyrotropin, human chorionic gonadotropin, and cholera toxin.
