CG alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc)

The CG alpha protein, a shared alpha chain in glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, FSH, CG), binds to receptors, initiating signaling pathways. Heterodimeric hormones involve CG alpha and a specific beta chain (TSHB, LHB, FSHB, CGB), imparting biological specificity. CG alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc) is the recombinant human-derived CG alpha protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-mFc labeled tag. The total length of CG alpha Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc) is 92 a.a., with molecular weight of ~45.8 kDa.

The CG alpha protein serves as the shared alpha chain in the active heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones, including thyrotropin (TSH), lutropin (LH), follitropin (FSH), and choriogonadotropin (CG). These hormones bind to specific receptors on target cells, initiating downstream signaling pathways. The heterodimeric structure of these hormones involves the CG alpha chain, as described here, and a unique beta chain, which imparts biological specificity to each hormone. Specifically, TSH consists of CG alpha and TSH beta (TSHB), lutropin comprises CG alpha and LH beta (LHB), follitropin includes CG alpha and FSH beta (FSHB), and choriogonadotropin is composed of CG alpha and choriogonadotropin subunit beta (CGB).
