CGB7

Gene
CGB7
Protein
Choriogonadotropin subunit beta 7
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
165 amino acids
Function
Beta subunit of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). hCG is a complex glycoprotein composed of two glycosylated subunits alpha and beta which are non-covalently associated. The alpha subunit is identical to those in the pituitary gonadotropin hormones (LH, FSH and TSH). The beta subunits are distinct in each of the hormones and confer receptor and biological specificity. Has an essential role for pregnancy and maternal adaptation. Stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy.
Similarity
Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family.
