I think you are asking about its chemistry: and the answer is that follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is GLYCOPROTEIN in nature.

Explanation:

FSH is a hetero-dimer: i.e. there are two polypeptide units of different size. The units are called alpha and beta. There are more than two hundred amino acids in two polypeptides, which are attached to a sugar.
