Target Details for CGA

Target: CGA (Glycoprotein Hormones, alpha Polypeptide (CGA))

Alternative Name: CGA

Background:

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. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene Full Name: glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide

Gene ID: 1081

UniProt: P01215

Pathways: Metabolism of Steroid Hormones and Vitamin D, Thyroid Hormone Synthesis, Hormone Transport, Peptide Hormone Metabolism
