Gene information for CGA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1081
Official gene symbolCGA
Full nameglycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide
Aliases,CG-ALPHA,FSHA,GPHA1,GPHa,HCG,LHA,TSHA,
Gene summaryThe 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. [provided by RefSeq]
