CGB

SYNONYMS
CGB3, CGB5, CGB7, CGB8, hCGB,  CG-beta, CGB.

INTRODUCTION
Glycoprotein hormones are heterodimers consisting of a common alpha subunit and a unique beta subunit which confers biological specificity. CGB is a member of the glycoprotein hormone beta chain family and is the beta 3 subunit of (CG). CG is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta and stimulates the ovaries. The beta subunit of CG is encoded by 6 genes which are arranged in tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 and contiguous with the luteinizing hormone beta subunit gene.

DESCRIPTION
CGB Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 168 amino acids (21-165 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.9kDa. CGB is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
