Receptors, lh (hCG Receptors; Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Receptors; ICSH Receptors; Receptors, Interstitial Cell-Stimulating Hormone; LH-hCG Receptors; LH Receptors; Luteinizing Hormone Receptors; Lutropin Receptors; Receptors, Luteinizing Hormone; Chorionic Gonadotropin Receptors; Receptors, Chorionic Gonadotropin; Receptors, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

Those protein complexes or molecular sites on the surfaces and cytoplasm of gonadal cells that bind luteinizing or chorionic gonadotropic hormones and thereby cause the gonadal cells to synthesize and secrete sex steroids. The hormone-receptor complex is internalized from the plasma membrane and initiates steroid synthesis.
