Question

Males and females possess the same gene for manufacturing the protein hormone FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). Therefore the tertiary structure of FSH is not different between men and women. Yet when FSH is injected into a man or a woman, the physiological affect is different. How does the body determine which cells will be responsive to which hormones? Answers to this question should focus on what's happening at the cellular level.
