Description

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone, produced by the placenta, with structural similarity to the pituitary hormones FSH, TSH, and LH. The alpha subunit (MW 15,000-20,000 daltons) is common to all of these hormones but the beta subunits differ, and confer immunological and biological specificity. Beta hCG (MW 25,000-30,000 daltons) shares several peptide sequences with beta LH, but has a unique carboxyl terminal region
