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.1) Canzian, F., et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 19(19):3873-3884(2010)
