Synthetic Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Beta Subunit
Template:Http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Part:BBa K732001
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta. The presence of hCG is detectable by immunologic means within days pf fertilization and forms the foundation of the common pregnancy tests. The HCG Beta-subunit has the epitopes that are detected by pregnancy tests, when hCG is present a pregnancy test will produce a positive result. It can be used in scenarios when detecting the autocatalysis of an enzyme. When HCG is fused to the end of an enzyme that is immobilized in a solution, if autocatalysis took place the HCG will be released into the solution and produce a positive pregnancy test result.
