Glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide
text:
Glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CGA gene. The gonadotropin hormones, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are heterodimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits that are associated non-covalently. The alpha subunits of these four human glycoprotein hormones are identical; however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity.
