Background

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, alpha chain (CGA) is a 92 aa glycopeptide that functions as the shared alpha subunit of the heterodimeric peptide hormones choriogonadotropin, leutinizing hormone, thryoid stimulating hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. CGA circulates as a free molecule and in noncovalent complexes with the unique beta subunits of those hormones. CGA is secreted by the pituitary and placenta. Mature human CGA shares 69%‑73% aa sequence identity with canine, equine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat CGA.

Limitations
