Mouse Anti-HCG alpha(4A8)/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The four human glycoprotein hormones chorionic gonadotropin (CG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are dimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits that are associated noncovalently. The alpha subunits of these hormones are identical, however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit and belongs to the glycoprotein hormones alpha chain family.
Function:
Stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy.
Subunit:
Heterodimer of a common alpha chain and a unique beta chain which confers biological specificity to thyrotropin, lutropin, follitropin and gonadotropin.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Similarity:
Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit alpha family.
