Anti-mullerian hormone receptor type 2 transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]. Anti-mullerian hormone receptor type 2 Anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMHR2 gene. This gene encodes the receptor for the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) which, in addition to testosterone, results in male sex differentiation. AMH and testosterone are produced in the testes by different cells and have different effects. Testosterone promotes the development of male genitalia while the binding of AMH to the encoded receptor prevents the development of the mullerian ducts into uterus and Fallopian tubes. Mutations in
Transgender hormone therapy (male-to-female) lower portion of the cheeks fills in. HRT causes a reduction in muscle mass and distribution towards female proportions. Male-to-female hormone therapy causes the hips to rotate slightly forward because of changes in the tendons. Hip discomfort is not uncommon. This can cause a reduction in total body height. If estrogen therapy is begun prior to pelvis ossification, which occurs around the age of 25, the pelvic outlet and inlet open slightly. The femora also widen, because they are connected to the pelvis. The pelvis retains some masculine characteristics, but the end result of HRT is wider hips than a
