- 32. Through our expertise in biochemical manipulation, we found a way to alter the G protein-coupled receptor for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The alteration stopped the binding of FSH to the receptor completely stopping all cellular effects. What effect does this have on other hormones that bind to G protein-coupled receptors such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)? to. It will stop these effects as well since they all use the adenylyl cyclase pathway b. It will only stop the effects of other gonadal hormones such as LH It will stop ALL cellular effects that use G protein-coupled receptors dBoth A and C It will do nothing to any other hormone since all receptors are unique to each hormonearrow_forwards in th and the development of a tumor.
