Synthetic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Beta Subunit
This part is an improvement of Part:BBa_K732001.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta where it stimulates the ovaries to synthesize important steroids for the maintenance of pregnancy. It is a member of the beta chain glycoprotein hormone family. The glycoproteins are heterodimers consisting of an alpha subunit and beta subunit. The beta subunit determines bio-specificity. Six genes encode the hCG beta subunit which are inverted on chromosome 19q13.3 and is boarding the luteinizing hormone beta subunit gene.
