Here is some facts on TSH, FSH, LH

I hope your studying for step 1 is going well.  Do study the First Aid.  The First Aid Q & A is an excellent source of questions to do while studying. 
I recommend making a realistic schedule and sticking to it.  You know yourself better so time yourself.  Have fun studying.  If you need a good Physiology book, I recommend:
Here is some facts on TSH, FSH, LH
  • Glycoproteins ( with sugar moieties covalently linked to asparagines)
  • Each is made up of an alpha and beta subunits (not covalently linked)
  • Alpha subunits of TSH, FSH, LH are identical (synthesized from the same mRNA)
  • Pairing of alpha and beta – in the ER and continues in the Golgi
  • HCG – structurally similar to TSH, FSH and LH. 
    • Glycoprotein with same alpha chain.
