[i] The consensus hinge sequences for LGR4–6 and FSHR/LSHR/TSHR were described by Hsu et al. (2000). The consensus hinge sequences for LGR7 are based on a ClustalX alignment of these four proteins.

[ii] This sequence is truncated N-terminally, presumably due to missing sequence at the N-terminal end of the annotation.
