Chorionic gonadotropin human

Descrição detalhada : Glycoprotein hormone consisting of a 92-amino acid alpha-chain which is identical to that of LH, FSH, and TSH; and a distinct 149-amino acid beta-chain. Produced by chorionic tissue and responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum during early pregnancy. Also produced by trophoblast cell neoplasms, which are marked by elevated free hCG beta-chains and hyperglycosylated hCG., Note: Actual molecular weight will vary from the theoretical depending upon the degree of glycosylation. Theoretical MW is 37.9 kDa based on native form which contains 2 subunits: alpha = 14.9 kDa (~10.2 kDa for the polypeptide and ~4.7 kDa for the carbohydrate), and beta = 23.0 kDa (~16.0 kDa for the polypeptide and ~7.0 kDa for the carbohydrate). See J. Biol. Chem. 248, 6796-6827 (1973).
