Luteinizing hormone is secreted by basophils in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It acts on mature ovum cells and can cause ovulation and luteinization. It can also promote the secretion of estrin in the corpus luteum, the inner capsule and the stromal cells.

The production of luteinizing hormone is controlled by the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and is regulated by positive and negative feedback from the ovaries.
