"This article has been withdrawn by the authors. The authors were recently made aware of an issue in Fig. 4, in which the sequence of treatment groups in the blot of rFSHR-17 cells was reorganized by cut-and-paste to align treatment groups with the companion blot of rLHR-4 cells. This rearrangement was not acknowledged in the original figure legend. Because the original data generated 16 years ago are no longer available, in the interest of maintaining accuracy in the published scientific literature, the authors wish to withdraw this article. However, the authors have full confidence in the findings and conclusions of this paper and have replicated the findings in subsequent work. The authors apologize for not recording the manipulation noted in Fig. 4."
